The health problems of women
are unique in camparison to
the male gender. The female
body is more complex and requires
much more care.
The habits you, as a woman,
develop early in life may
determine your health in your
later years. I don't mean
eating habits alone. I mean
your personal habits and choices
as well as your eating habits.
The 5 major causes of poor
health and even death in women
are as follows: Cancer, Heart
Disease, Accidents, Sucide,
and Homicide.
Preventing Cancer. Genetic
based cancers like breast
cancer are nearly unavoidable.
However, catching it early
on will greatly increase your
chances of survival. Periodic
examiniations will catch any
cancers early on. QUIT SMOKING
and your chances of getting
lung cancer or other smoking
associated illnesses are significantly
decreased.
Preventing heart disease.
Again, quit smoking. This
also reduces your risk of
having a stroke. Watch what
you eat and excersize regularly.
You needn't work out everyday.
Just do something a few times
a week that gets your heart
going and warms up the muscles.
Lose weight if you need to.
You will know if you need
to or not. If you are on medication,
take it as directed. If you
start feeling better that
means the medication is working
and is all the more reason
to continue taking it as prescribed.
Never stop taking a medication
without consulting your doctor.
Some medications cannot be
stopped suddenly.
Preventing Accidents. Buckle
your seat belt. Don't drive
angry. Don't drive when you
are just too tired. Use common
sense on the road. Don't drink
and drive. 2 beverages is
all it takes to impair your
driving.
Suicide. Depression is the
no. 1 cause of suicide. If
you think you are depressed,
go see a qualified professional
about it. Here are a few signs
of depression: feeling sad
or a feeling of hopelessness.
Your appetite either increases
or decreases. Insomnia or
too much sleep. Feeling worthless.
Frequent thoughts of suicide.
If you are having these signs
as well as others. You should
seek help.
Prevent homicide. Domestic
abuse accounts for a large
number of women who are murdered.
They choose partners emotionally
instead of intelligently.
Use common sense when choosing
a partner. If you choose a
rabid dog, you will end up
getting bit. Simple as that.
Other causes of homicide are
interacting with strangers.
When driving, don't pull over
for hitch-hikers or strangers
in other cars. If you are
being flagged down by someone
in another car and they are
warning you of some kind of
problem with your car, pull
over in a well lighted spot
with plenty of people. Never
get out of your car unless
you absolutely believe it
is safe.
