Essential Health Tips That All Women Should Know

By Genevieve Cunningham

Being a woman is tough. There are a lot of stigmas and expectations that women have to shake off in order to be successful in their own right. But perhaps the most important thing for women is not what the world expects of them, but rather how well they can take care of themselves! Women often run themselves ragged trying to take care of everyone else, but forget that their own health is just as important. To make sure that the women in your life are looking out for their own health and wellness, take a look at these three health tips that all women should know.

You Should Lift Weights

Women often think that they should shy away from weights, but this is definitely not true! Weights help women to sculpt muscles, burn fat, and become stronger and more stable. You won’t look like a bodybuilder unless you train like one, so don’t worry about bulking up too much, Make weightlifting a part of your normal fitness routine, and you’ll be shocked at how much your body changes for the better.

You Need More Calcium

Everyone needs calcium, but women need it even more than most people. Women are susceptible to bone weakening and bone loss as they age, especially after they reach menopause. This can cause breakage, aches, and general injury to the bones. If you want to avoid these effects, make sure that you are getting plenty in your diet (eat more dairy!), or even add a supplement to your routine to make sure your intake is sufficient.

Sleep is Crucial

Many adults do without proper amounts of sleep. But sometimes it seems as though women have a little tougher time resting than other people. Why? Children, family obligations, hormones, and stress are all at play. Sleep is a crucial aspect of health and wellness. A lack of sleep can lead to aches and pains, confusion, headaches, and other unwanted side effects. Women should strive for a minimum of eight hours of sleep per night, as well as a midday nap if it’s needed.

Women, just like every other group of people, need to look out for themselves and their health. It’s only when we cater to our own personal health and wellness that we’ll see big changes and improvement to our quality of life. Make sure that you know these truths in your life, and improve your health and your life as a woman.
