4 Ways to Prevent the Number One Womens Health Problem by Julie
Lenz
What disease kills more American women than any other?
If you answered anything except heart disease then you must read
this article. According to the American Heart Association heart
disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 3 killers of women.
They are two of the many cardiovascular diseases that kill
nearly 500,000 women each year. Thats more than the next seven
causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer. But
there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
1. Get your cholesterol tested every year. Many women dont know
they have high cholesterol. They assume that heart disease is a
mans problem. Even many doctors dont realize the risk that
women have of heart disease so they fail to suggest testing.
2. Increase your weekly exercise. We now know that as little as
10 minutes of exercise three times a week can greatly reduce the
risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Take the stairs
instead of the elevator. Walk the dog a little bit longer each
day. Get your heart pumping by dancing to your favorite music
while you clean the house. Walk during your lunch hour instead
of eating at your desk.
3. Eat more fruits and veggies. Fruits and vegetables are low in
fat and high in fiber. They contain heart healthy nutrients.
Leafy greens are particularly healthy. Orange juice is high in
folic acid, a nutrient known to protect the heart and prevent
birth defects. Add one vegetable or fruit to every meal and you
will likely double your current intake. You can make it easier
by keeping prepared vegetables in the refrigerator to throw into
a salad or munch on for snacks.
4. Learn about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS affects as
many as 5-10% of all women. It is one of the most common
endocrine disorders and is one of the most common causes of
infertility. PCOS is a cluster of symptoms that can include:
unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, depression
or mood swings, painful or irregular periods, absent periods,
acne, hair loss, unexpected hair growth (face, arms, stomach,
etc.), infertility, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and
more. Untreated PCOS can lead to serious health problems such as
diabetes, heart disease and endometrial cancer. Protecting your
heart is easier than you might think and it will reward you
every moment of every day. Take care of yourself. You are worth
it!
