Week National Women's Health

Week National Women's Health -

This week marks National Women's Health Week to celebrate and educate women about what they can do to improve their health and stay healthy. Each year, the Department of Health and Human Services is organizing the week to promote the welfare of women across the United States.

Not only the week to promote a healthy lifestyle, but ask women to take part in the Challenge wife to get recommended amounts of physical activity.

Some health tips for women include:

• Eat a balanced diet
• Visit or schedule regular checks and preventive screenings
• Avoid unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, excessive drinking, do not use sunscreen or seat belt
• Get the recommended levels of exercise each week (d exercise moderately for 2 hours and 30 minutes, vigorous activity for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or a combination of both)
• Managing stress and sleep patterns

for those who have health insurance, preventive screenings are now available at no charge out-of-pocket because of the reform of health care. It is important that women are aware of these benefits and take advantage of them.
