10 Tips To Help Women Stay Fit & Healthy In 2008
By Don Alexander
Here are 10 tips for women to stay fit and healthy:
1. Staying fit and healthy starts with a balanced diet. Know
and monitor the right weight for your age. Consult your doctor
to learn what food you should avoid and follow your eating
discipline routines. If you are trying to lose some weight,
foods with high calories should be omitted from your meals. Food
with high fiber and low fat should be included a priority in
your grocery list instead of red meat, sugars and fats.
2. Drink plenty of water. Consume at least eight glasses of
water every day. This cleanses the body from impurities. It is
also advised for lactating women to increase water intake to
keep the body hydrated. Water also helps to keep sinuses clear
and is a natural antioxidant. It can also increase muscle tone
and strength.
3. Take Vitamins and Supplements. Do not forget your Calcium
supplement. Sufficient Calcium intake is beneficial for women of
all ages. This has been proven to prevent having cramps and
Pre-Menstrual Period (PMS) Symptoms. It also prevents
Osteoporosis especially for menopausal women. Vitamin E boosts
strong immune system. Women who undergo menopausal period should
take Vitamin E-400 as it stops night sweats and hot flashes.
Also, Vitamin E is said to be best in avoiding wrinkles when
aging.
4. Quit smoking. If you are smoking, stop. It is also a big
"NO" for pregnant women, as this will affect the health of the
baby. Pregnant women who smoke may pass the harmful content of
cigarettes to babies through the bloodstream. Recent studies
have shown that women smokers are more prone to diseases than
men smokers. Women who smoke have a high risk of getting breast
cancer. Also limit your alcohol intake.
5. Incorporate exercises in your daily routine. Take a walk
after work, use stairs instead of elevator or play with your
kids when you are at home. Home exercises are also effective
especially when you do not have time to go to the gym and would
like to lose some weight. Tae-Bo and jumping rope are only a few
of the many effective exercises you can do at home. Exercises
help in limiting the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
6. Avoid stress. Many women are prone to too much stress.
Stress has been known as cause to many sicknesses. As much as
possible, women need to take time to relax. Read a good book,
hang out with friends and engage into sports. Pamper yourself by
going to parlors or you can do some shopping. And do not forget
to get enough sleep to revive your energy. Set a bed time each
night and stick to it in 2008!
7. Use sunscreen to protect your skin from the harmful rays of
the sun. Wear hats when under the sun to protect your skin. Too
much sun is bad for your skin. The skin is prone to cancer when
exposed to too much sunlight. It also speeds up the aging of
skin cells, which causes wrinkles to women. When swimming,
consider buying a surfers swimwear from a sporting goods store,
especially if you are in the water daily for many hours.
8. Make sure to visit your dentist to keep that beautiful
smile. Always have it cleaned to prevent cavities and bad
breath. Use a mouthwash daily. Mouthwash may also help prevent
cold sores if used regularly.
9. Visit your Gynecologist. Women who are eighteen and above
should have their Physical Examination annually, especially for
the Pap Smear. Co-enzyme Q-10 is essential to help prevent
breast cancer and it can be found in many better vitamins.
10. Find a truly wonderful liquid Multivitamin. Liquid
multi-vitamins have a 90% better absorption rate. Always begin
your day with your vitamins. Here's to your best health women in
2008!
