National Women's Health Week - It's Your Time

Are you taking the necessary steps to make your health a priority?
Believe me, I know it's hard to think about your own health when you are thinking about your job, children, spouses, and what you need to pick up from the grocery store for dinner. This week is to remind you that your health is just as important, if not more, than all of those other things you have going on. A lot of times women put the needs of their families first, it's natural for us to care for everyone else and then ourselves second. In doing that, sometimes our health and well-being suffers.

We encourage you to do a couple of things that lower your possibility of certain diseases and enhance your mental and physical health. Here are some examples of what you can do, make sure you're getting enough sleep, manage your stress, be active, have regular checkups with your physician, and eat healthy.  Remember, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." If you are already doing these things, great! Keep up the good work!


Today is also National Women's Checkup Day, you can take the pledge to visit your physician for a check up at http://www.womenshealth.gov/whw/check-up-day/.
