Women's Health And Nutrition

Given their busy schedules caring for their homes, jobs, and all the people in their lives, most women put their personal health last. This Women’s Day, make a positive change yourself and encourage those around you to make “health” a priority. Neglecting your health and leading an unhealthy lifestyle might have negative impacts on it.

Here are a few simple tips for all the Women out there to help boost overall health:

1. Never Skip a Meal

The most crucial piece of advice is never to skip a meal if you're attempting to retain your energy. Regular meals can help you feel more energized and happier. For women, a daily intake of about 2,000 calories is often recommended.

Prefer homemade, organic meals, locally grown produce, healthy grains, leafy greens high in fibre, and leaner meat cuts since it has more nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, and micronutrients than packaged food.

2. Exercise Regularly

Due to aging and parenting, women tend to lose more lean muscle mass over time. Thus, you should include frequent exercise in your schedule, including high-intensity workouts and/or weight training. It can help you lower your stress hormone levels.  Your body and mind will be healthier as a result of daily activity.

It's never too late to start if you aren't already doing this.

3. Manage Stress Better

Anxiety and stress are significant energy drainers. While juggling responsibilities such as jobs, household tasks, parental responsibilities for the kids, and social engagements, stress is a constant part of life. Hence, to reduce stress levels, try going for a stroll, listening to music, talking to a friend, taking a break to meditate, or engaging in yoga. Even 10 minutes will help you unwind, deal with stress better, and wake up the next day with more peace.

4. Quit fad diets

Fad diets are ineffective and may do more harm. Instead, focus on consuming healthy foods of all kinds in moderation. Reduce your intake of salt, sugar, fried meals, and processed foods, stay away from trans fatty acids, reduce the amount of refined oil in your diet, and increase your intake of healthy fats like ghee and coconut oil.

Moreover, confusing hunger and thirst is simple, so ensure you're getting enough fluids. Keep your bottle close at hand at all times. Consuming at least eight glasses of water daily should be your only objective.

5. Attend Menstrual Discomfort

A gynecologist should be consulted if your periods are irregular, you are bleeding heavily, or you are experiencing significant period pain. Do not ignore it because your reproductive health is immediately impacted.

6. Get Enough Sleep

Sleep serves to rest and rejuvenate the mind in addition to relaxing the body. Your heart and blood vessels must be restored and healed. Commit to sleeping a minimum of seven hours a day while aiming for eight, and you will feel healthier and happier in a short time.

7. Avoid Certain Foods

There are no "good" or "bad" foods in general; everything has a place in moderation. However, some foods are better for your health than others, and you should try to avoid them whenever possible. Avoiding these foods for women (particularly in childbearing years, while pregnant, or during menopause) can ensure safety and health. Like Deli Meats (hidden source of sodium), Sushi (heightened risk of seafood-borne illness), Caffeinated Beverages, etc.

8. Add Supplements for a Healthier You

Women's bodies go through a lot, from childbirth, menopause, and hormonal ups and downs. Today's fast-paced lifestyles make it harder to maintain a regular health regimen. In the quest for a more youthful appearance, applying sunscreen, moisturizer, and the most recent anti-wrinkle cream is insufficient. On the inside, too, you need protection. Like consuming our meta multivitamin and multimineral Vitammune. It is a blend of every critical Vitamin (C, D, E, B12, etc.) and Mineral (Zinc, Magnesium, Calcium, etc.) majorly required by an individual. It helps improve your brain functioning and also boosts immunity.

The early detection of any health issues is ensured through routine screening. Taking charge of your health can help you avoid a number of issues. We strongly advise women to undergo normal medical screening examinations at regular intervals.
