The health problems of women are unique in camparison to the male
gender. The female body is more complex and requires greater 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.
