Symmetry Honors National Women's Health Care Month with Wellness Tips
The American Medical Association reports that females typically put the health care of her spouse and children ahead of their own well-being. This May, in honor of National Women's Health Care Month, Symmetry is encouraging women to rethink their approach.
"Women need to realize that their health is their single best asset," said Rudy Revak, president and chief executive officer for Symmetry Corporation. "When stress and other ailments cause women to neglect their bodies, energy, mood, and overall health fall to the wayside as a result."
Revak says women can experience significant advances in their well-being by taking the following action steps:
- Eat a rainbow - Rich, colorful foods such as berries and green leafy vegetables are rich in antioxidants and other vitamins and nutrients, which all play a role in staving off disease. For women who have trouble squeezing in the recommended five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day, Revak suggests incorporating supplements that feature extracts of whole foods.
- Go fish - Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring are high in Omega-3s, essential fatty acids that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease. Women should aim for two three-oz. servings of fish a week. However, those who aren't fond of seafood may prefer to take a high-quality Omega-3 supplement, typically available in pill form.
- Get moving - Although typically associated with weight loss, regular physical activity can strengthen the immune system and reduce the occurrence of diseases that affect the bones and joints. Even moderate movement, such as brisk walking, can produce positive results. Women should aim for 30 minutes of activity a day.
- Stay strong with calcium - Weight-bearing exercise can help improve bone density, but aging women can take additional measures against osteoporosis by monitoring their calcium intake. In addition, calcium has been shown to support colon health, reduce tension and even moderate the symptoms of PMS. When choosing a calcium supplement, women should look for varieties that include Magnesium and Vitamin D.
