20 Health Tips That Every Woman Should Know

The media abounds in tricks and tips that aim to help you build your lifestyle as close as possible to what it means to be healthy.
Asking for the opinion of dozens of specialists, Glamor highlighted some of the most important for a woman.

1. How to get more information from your doctor

Think carefully about what you want from that visit (a diagnosis, a recommendation to a specialist, etc.) and do not feel embarrassed to ask anything that puzzles you. Tell your doctor about any supplement you are taking (some may interact with certain medicines).

2. Why sex is good

Orgasm releases hormones which give a feeling of well-being and strengthen the immune system. Sex is one of the few things in life that is fun, free, and healthy.


3. Reduce your risk of cancer
Find out about your family history. If you have parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles who

were diagnosed with such a disease before the age of 50, you may be at increased risk.
Ask your doctor to set a daily dose of vitamin D (this prevents cancer and heart disease). Examine your breasts frequently and pay attention to any changes in your body.

4. Lose weight (if you need to)

If you are overweight, if you lose even 5-10% of your body weight you reduce your risk of getting certain diseases. Focus on healthy foods (fruits, vegetables), foods that saturate for longer (protein), exercise, and avoid alcohol in large quantities.

5. Be concerned with information about a healthy life
If you want to change your way of life in certain respects, which you know are not exactly the ones indicated, go to the facts, overcoming more quickly the stage in which you only propose. Also, find out as often as possible about habits that help you be healthier.

6. Adopt a positive attitude
If one day you feel fatter, but another day you like how you look, think that it may be the perception and the state of the moment, not the reality (this if you still don't have too many extra pounds).
In general, a positive and optimistic attitude helps you fight diseases and difficulties more easily and live longer.

7. Be careful how much salt you consume

Eat less salt; Half of the women over the age of 45 have high blood pressure, mostly caused by too much salt consumed.

8. Take care of oral health
In addition to brushing, which should be done at least twice a day, also use dental floss or an electric toothbrush to thoroughly clean the spaces between the teeth and prevent gum disease. Rinse your mouth after any sour drink to remove acids that attack the enamel.

9. Follow some healthy eating habits
Eat a vegetable or a fruit at every meal, choose products as diverse as possible (but, as much as possible, not processed), opt for healthy oils such like olive, canola, although they are harder to find and more expensive) and look for natural foods that will improve your health.

10. Protect and strengthen your immune system

Wash your hands many times a day and do not take you to work if you are sick. You will only aggravate the disease and prolong the convalescence time.

11. Do something that can bring you more happiness
Get a pet; it lowers blood pressure alleviates anxiety and adds to your mood, mainly because it causes you to be more active.
Seek to interact with people more often face to face, even if other means, such as messenger or email, are more tempting.

Don't stay in a relationship where you don't feel good and suffer often; negative emotions are not good for health.

12. Quit smoking

If you need an extra reason to quit smoking, think that it lowers fertility. Regardless of the reason chosen, do everything you can to give up this vice.

13. Sleep well
Eliminate everything you see that distracts you from sleep and sex. Both are good for health. Sleep for eight hours, with no light sources on (a lamp, TV), and set your watch to ring just when you need to wake up, without postponing it.

14. Think twice before taking a medicine
Before taking a pill to get rid of a certain symptom, think about whether you can do something to eliminate the cause of that symptom. For example, if your head or stomach hurts, you may be very tired and stressed. Try to work less or take a break.

15. Keep your brain active

Read something as often as possible and work on various exercises that train thinking, such as puzzles, puzzles.

16. Take into account three tips for sexual health
Do not diagnose yourself, using the Internet. Go better to the gynecologist; otherwise, you may have chlamydia and treat vaginal candidiasis.
Try to have emergency contraceptive pills on hand. Use condoms, if you do not have a single partner.

17. Follow three tricks if you want to lose weight
Eat as many colored fruits and vegetables as possible, do not give up a diet even if you have done an excess once or several times and always try to tell yourself that it is not the last time you eat something you like it (you can also find another day a tasty pizza, a blackberry or a portion of spaghetti).

18. Be careful what shoes you wear
Avoid high heels that cause your body weight to fall more on your knees, which forces your joints, and choose heels and lower soles or sports shoes as often as possible.

19. Help someone
A source of happiness is the satisfaction you get when you help someone who needs support.

20. Don't forget about exercise.

Exercise Should be part of your daily routine. Choose as often as possible to climb the stairs instead of taking the elevator, go to the gym, walk, run.
