Healthy Women

by Linda Farington

Healthy women are an important part of today's society. Women are not only the mothers of the world, but contribute so much to society as a whole. It can be hard some days to pull it all off without pulling out your hair. Women often get very few breaks, as their role of caregiver drives them to do for everyone but herself. If you want to be happy and healthy you will need to learn to ask for help, or at the very least enlist people around you to help cut down the things you have to do.


Family And Work

While every woman can have both a career and family too today, it can be hard to juggle both jobs. Deadlines and little ones do not wait for you to catch your breath. Healthy women often will run themselves into illness trying to do it all. If you would rather save your body and your mind, it is time to demand more from those around you. Make sure that you only do your job and not every one else's while at work. Moms tend to try to make sure it all gets done and many times that means she is doing it for her co-workers. These are not your children. When you come home at night, your family should also be helpful. Husbands can chip in and do some of the work, as a marriage is fifty-fifty. Older children can also be given chores and can help with younger one. There is no need to run you ragged any longer and risk a melt down.


Mom's Time To Relax

Women's health has to do with more than just what she eats and watching her figure. It has to do with the emotional and mental part of a woman as well. Every woman needs time to relax, but mothers need more time and get less. Children are demanding. Throw in a husband and a job, and you are looking at no time at all. This is why it is very important to find time no matter how small that time may be. Try taking a fifteen-minute bath each night once the children are in bed. This little time can really be all you need to feel whole again. You could also try to book a day at the spa once or twice a month and have a full day of pampering. There is no reason why daddy cannot tend to the wee ones for you.


The Rest Factor

Rest is the most wonderful thing in the world to any woman. Unfortunately, it is one of the things she rarely gets. Between work, babies, appointments, preparing everyone else for the day, and cleaning, sleep is not high on the priority list. Health women get enough rest. They make sure to allow enough time in the day to be properly rested. This cuts down on the amount of illness that runs through the home and allows mom to recuperate. You cannot be there for everything is you are sick and tired all the time. There is plenty of time to tend to other things later. Never risk your health to get the dishes done. Just do them next time you are cooking instead.
