Health care for Women in 30s
Thirties is the time most people reach their career stability stages, they bought a house, gotten married, started a family, settled with a stable job and maintain a good supportive bank balance. This is the time, men and women are confident of their future..sametime, they shall have greater confidence on their health, which means they would have already been taking good care of their health. Yet, most of us get busy at this stage of life that we have no time for ourselves..and we start ignoring most things related to us and concentrate more on our kids and securing their future. Infact, it should have been this way that one would concentrate on self health at any stage of life, which is not what practically happens in reality. Among the so many health related mistakes and ignorant things women do, here are a few that top.
Ignoring the changes in body metabolism
When in 30s, body metabolism changes slowly. It digests foods differently than at the previous stages, food allergies occure too, which we never bother to notice. Gastric issues, bloating, inflammatin etc happen commonly at this age and we tend to feel that our body still behaves the same way it had been from childhood. This is the time we need to modify our eating habits, consume better foods, easily digestible foods, eat vitamin and mineral rich foods appropriate to our age. Body starts storing more fat now, and to stop this we need to avoid processed foods more than ever before and consume lean meats, omega 3 fatty foods and about 70% of our daily food should be fruits and vegetables only.
Ignore the loss of muscle mass
Body at the age of 30 and up starts loosing muscle mass. It is said that women in thier 30s who follow a fitness regime of cardio exercises can keep alzheimer's and different types of cancers at bay. Maintaining physical fitness becomes crucial from this age onwards.
Keep the Doctor away
At this age, we become busier than ever, managing jobs, households, kids and what not..that there is no time to even think of visiting a Doctor for regular health checkups. Keeping an eye on cholesterol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar levels, thyroid functioning, bone health falls beneath the list of To-Do-Things we want to finish every day , every month, ...not even once a year. We tend to procrastinate medical visits more than ever.
Treating skin like that of a teenager
Acne at this age is also common, due to hormonal changes. Using acne treatment lotions, facewash products, creams made for teenage skin is not appropriate. Instead, use milk and gentle natural products for relief. Consulting a dermatologist if acne becomes too rampant is a better option. Detox therapies such a warm lemon water, honey, natural moisturisers such as coconut oil, almond oil for applying on the skin are smart options now. Naturally made sunscreen lotions are a must to safeguard skin from sun burns and harsh rays, also help from skin cancer.
30s or even 20s..whatever be the age, one should be very health conscious and also cautious of the health problems and keep away from anything harmful is the manthra during these times...
