Health Problems In Women Will Be A Thing Of The Past And Here's Why



Men and women can have similar problems but the effect of such problems could be different in both of them. Actually women suffers more than men e.g. risk of death after a heart stroke is greater in women than men.

Many of the leading threats to women's health can be prevented, if you know how. According to the statistics, the top causes of death among adult women in the country like U.S. include heart disease, stroke, cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, Alzheimer's disease, and unintentional injuries.

If you have health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes that increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, go to your doctor and  follow doctor's treatment recommendations.

Women need more care and attention for their health problems. A regular talk or checkup with your doctor can help prevent most of the problems. While you can't eliminate risk factors such as family history, you can control other risk factors for heart disease, stroke and cancer.

Exercise can help you control your weight and lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. It might also lower your risk of certain types of cancer. Choose activities you enjoy, from brisk walking to ballroom dancing.

REDUCE ALCOHOL-

If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. For women, that means no more than one drink a day. A drink is one and a half ounces of standard 80-proof liquor, 12 ounces of beer, or a five-ounce glass of wine. The risk of various types of cancer including breast and liver appears to increase with the amount of alcohol you drink and the length of time you've been drinking regularly.

STRESS MANAGEMENT-

If you feel constantly on edge or under assault, your lifestyle habits might suffer and so might your immune system. Take steps to reduce stress or learn to deal with stress in healthy ways.A healthy lifestyle also might play a role in preventing Alzheimer's disease.

This puts women at increased risk of illness and even death from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease which includes bronchitis and emphysema.

You can protect your respiratory health by not smoking and avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke. Try to minimize your exposure to chemicals and outdoor air pollution. Also, prevent respiratory infections by washing your hands often and getting a yearly flu vaccine. Ask your doctor whether you need a pneumonia vaccine as well.

Another common cause of death among women is motor vehicle accidents. To stay safe on the road, wear your seat belt. Wear helmet while driving two wheeler. Follow the speed limit. Don't drive under the influence of alcohol or any other substances, and don't drive while sleepy.

Now you understand the health problems in women and how to prevent them. Don't feel overwhelmed by women's health risks. Instead, do whatever you can to lead a healthy lifestyle. Simple preventive measures can go a long way toward reducing your risks. good luck and stay healthy.

How To Get Relief in Morning sickness? In The Time Of Pregnancy



Most of the pregnant women will experience morning sickness to some degree, particularly in the first trimester. The symptoms include nausea and vomiting. Morning sickness is typically at its worst early in the day, hence its name, but it can strike at any point during the day or night. 

For most women, morning sickness begins around the fourth week of pregnancy and resolves by the 12th to 14th week. However, one in five women endures morning sickness into their second trimester, and an unfortunate few experience nausea and vomiting for the entire duration of their pregnancy. 

In most cases, morning sickness doesn’t harm the woman or the unborn child. However, severe morning sickness that includes weight loss and dehydration needs prompt medical attention.

Most common Symptoms of morning sickness

Symptoms of morning sickness can include:
  • Nausea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Vomiting
  • Psychological effects, such as depression and anxiety.

Possible causes of morning sickness

The cause of morning sickness remains a mystery, but it is thought a combination of physical and metabolic factors play a significant role, including:
  • High levels of hormones, including oestrogen
  • Fluctuations in blood pressure, particularly lowered blood pressure
  • Altered metabolism of carbohydrates
  • The enormous physical and chemical changes that pregnancy triggers.


Managing morning sickness

Suggestions for coping with morning sickness include:
  • Don’t take drugs of any kind, unless your doctor knows you are pregnant and has prescribed specific medications.
  • Eat a few dry crackers or plain sweet biscuits before getting out of bed in the morning.
  • Don’t eat anything that you suspect will make you nauseous. In general high-carbohydrate meals are well tolerated.
  • Eat small meals regularly, as an empty stomach tends to trigger nausea.
  • It may help to avoid cooking or preparing foods.
  • Drink as much as you can manage. Sometimes sips of flat lemonade, diluted fruit juice, cordial, weak tea, ginger tea, clear soup or beef extract drinks are helpful. If none of these are bearable, try sucking on ice cubes.
  • Vitamin B6 supplements can be useful, but doses above 200 mg per day can actually be harmful. Follow your doctor’s advice.
  • Consider acupressure or acupuncture on the wrist.
  • Wear loose clothes that don’t constrict your abdomen.
  • Moving around may aggravate morning sickness. Rest whenever possible.

Important things to remember

  • Around half to two-thirds of all pregnant women will experience morning sickness.
  • Possible causes include high levels of hormones, blood pressure fluctuations and changes in carbohydrate metabolism.
  • Severe morning sickness, called hyperemesis gravidarum, may require hospitalisation.
  • Symptoms of morning sickness may be relieved by eating a few dry crackers before you get up in the morning, avoiding foods and smells that make you nauseous, drinking plenty of fluids and choosing high-carbohydrate and high-protein foods.
