Staying Healthy Tips For Women

1. Eat a well balanced diet every day. Eat more high fiber and low fat foods. Eat less fats, red meat and sugar.

2. If you smoke, quit. We all know smoking is bad for our health. It causes many forms of cancer and cardiovascular problems. The sooner you stop, the better.

3. Take your vitamins. At the very least, a multi-vitamin should be a part of your daily regime. Be sure you also get enough calcium and B vitamins. Consult your doctor for specific needs.

4. Exercise daily. If you can go to a gym for your workout, great. If not, take some time at home and/or work and make it part of your daily routine.

5. Drink plenty of water every day. Eight 8oz. glasses per day has always been the recommended measure of water to consume. Not only does it hydrate your body, but it also washes away impurities in your system.

6. Protect your skin. Use sunscreen when swimming, lounging around the pool, gardening, mowing grass, etc. Sure, that tan looks nice, but the ultraviolet rays of the sun will
age your skin at an accelerated pace. It can also cause skin cancer.

7. Learn to avoid and relieve stress. You've probably heard it, and yes it's true, stress can literally kill you. Spend some 'me' time in order to relax and relieve stressful times in your life.

8. See your doctor annually for a thorough physical exam.
