TalkNational Women’s Health Week
Kicking off with Mother’s Day, this is National Women’s Health Week. The US Deptartment of Health and Human Services is taking this opportunity to remind us to “take time out for our health.” While more of us are getting annual exams and regular health screenings (mammograms, Pap smears, cholesterol checks, colonoscopies, etc,), we’re not doing so well on the day-to-day front (eating fruits and veggies, exercising). Why is that? I’d venture it’s our increasing workload, overstimulation and stress. What do you say?
So gals, the message this week is: there’s no time like the present to recommit yourself to a healthier lifestyle. Oh, and go ahead and make that doctor’s appointment you’ve been conveniently forgetting. I know I’m overdue.
