For those of you that didn’t know, May is National Health Month. This means all throughout this month, different organizations are bringing to light prominent health issues in our country. What I found to be even more interesting is that from May 12-18, it is National Women’s Health Week! Because this week is quickly approaching, I thought I would share with you the ‘Top 4 Tips for Staying Healthy!
1. Visit a doctor or health care professional to receive regular check-ups. As we women get older, it’s important to frequent the doctor more often to make sure everything is “up to snuff!”
2. Drink water! Water is so vital to living a healthy and balanced life.
3. Sleep is vital for everyone’s health. Anywhere from 6-8 hours is ideal for proper body and mind function the following day.
4. Try to avoid unhealthy habits. This includes smoking, or texting and driving.
As healthy women, we can all set an example for others to follow! It’s important to remember these tips not just through the month of May, but all the time!
