5 Tips for the betterment of Women Health

Women deal with a gazillion problems every day, and health seems to be relatively low on the priority list. We take care of every little thing – from watering our succulents to maintaining the birdbath and feeding stray cats. In doing so, we often forget about ourselves making self-care and women’s health take a back seat in our lives, and eating whole foods, sleeping better, and taking vitamins before bed helps us build a life free from stress. So, taking care of your physical and mental needs is as important as worrying about taxes, or your kid’s future, or the mortgage on your house. Have a pamper routine to break free from the daily hustle and bustle. Take a trip with your girlfriends or spend a quiet evening reading your favorite book, whatever floats your boat. As long as you remember that you create your happiness and happiness we all deserve.

Here are 5 Health tips that can help you improve the quality of your life and increase its happiness quotient: 

1. Proactive Self Care 

One needs to be mindful of one’s needs and create a life that caters to your specific needs to lead a contented life. Maintaining your physical and mental health is the key to ensuring your holistic well-being. We need to take a break, step back and understand the needs of our body and mind. Once we have gauged what we want, the next step is formulating a plan to achieve it. It can be professional aspirations, mental health goals, or physical fitness goals. 

By taking regular blood sugar and hormone tests, LKFTs, tracking blood pressure and nutritional status, one can actively prevent various future health complications. Our genes are determinant in what ailments we might suffer. Especially since we follow the same lifestyle as our parents, exposing us to similar illnesses. Being on top of our health can help us prevent, manage or push back future health complications. One needs to be observant of one’s body’s needs by tracking your symptoms, moods, emotions, and cravings.

2. Sleep Like There Is No Tomorrow

While we spend our lives chasing our goals, we develop a habit of tracking things instead of allotting the time they deserve. Important activities such as sleeping, healthy eating, mindful thinking, giving yourself time and space take a backseat as we power through our weekdays, functioning on a couple of hours of sleep, and sleep away our weekends. Even though it appears to be a functional arrangement, it doesn’t quite add up when your health is in question.

Our sleep patterns control our emotions, moods, cravings, basically anything hormone-related. Sleeping on time – before 11 p.m. promotes ‘good’ hormones to release in our system, balancing out hormones and putting us in a good mood. A consistent sleep schedule affects our health by making us more productive once we wake up.

3. Increase Your Whole Food Intake

Following a well-balanced diet full of nutrition might appear challenging at first but gets easier once you understand its benefits and incorporate it into your daily routine. Eating healthy can do wonders to our bodies, especially as women; we are susceptible to more illnesses such as arthritis and much more. A well-balanced diet helps us prevent these health complications by strengthening our body and mind. 

A healthy diet doesn’t have to limit you to eating bland and tasteless food. Instead, there are various tricks to eating healthy such as portion control, reducing simple carb intake, and increasing whole food and fiber into your diet. Binge eating and an abusive relationship with your food can stop once you start tracking what you eat, enabling you to develop healthy eating habits. Build your meals around fruits, vegetables, clean proteins, and whole grains to improve your health.

4. Opt for Dynamic Workout Plan

Your health and fitness play a crucial role in managing your overall health. If you like running, Zumba and aerobic classes, any form of physical activity are great as long as you keep your body moving. However, it is essential to kick your fitness goals up a notch and diversify your workout plan. You can opt for HIIT exercises, balance your cardio and weight lifting, or go swimming post- dancing. A well-rounded exercise routine is a key to attaining well-balanced health. 

If you are a gym rat, take some time off and work those brain muscles through meditation and mindful thinking. Yoga can be good for those of us that like to hit the streets with our jogging tracks. Mingling with people in a park on a walk instead of staying cooped up in your house can improve your mental health tremendously. Women can avoid several illnesses and diseases by keeping their fitness in check. Increasing muscle strength through several stretching and weight lifting exercises can facilitate mobility and reduce aches and pains that haunt us as we grow older.

5. Build A Fulfilling Life Free From Stress 

Your mental health needs equal attention just as your physical well-being. Addressing triggers and cutting negative influences from your life can reduce your stress tremendously. One way to achieve this is actively building a life that promotes healthy living and keeps your happiness levels in check. Compromising with your demons and leading a depressive life is a waste of time, especially when you can do something to fix it. Identify your issues – they can be anything from being in a toxic relationship or just wanting to break free from the monotonous lifestyle. 

Work on your problems and find a solution. Take help from experts and consult various professionals regarding your issues. You can talk to therapists or join clubs and groups and help you overcome them. Recognize the resources available around you and use them to create a quality life.
