Looking for a good women’s health magazine can be daunting. Women’s health is big business. It’s not that your health is any worse than men’s. But with the additional burden of preventing conception and carrying children, your health is more easily and more commonly affected.

You may be looking for a women’s health magazine that provides you with effective, alternatives to drugs for gynaecological problems. No woman wants the inconvenience of long or painful periods and it’s worse when you’re trying to hold down a demanding job. But drugs take their toll too, from unwanted side effects to causing cancer.

A good quality women’s health magazine should cover aspects such as;

checking your breasts regularly for lumps. What about mammograms. They’re extremely uncomfortable, if not downright painful. Can they really be helpful? Are there any alternatives not offered you by mainstream medicine?
alternative contraceptive methods to the pill. It’s unfair that the role of responsibility for preventing unwanted pregnancies seems to fall, for the most part, on women. Although that means you’re more in control, it also means the potential of more harm to your body.
effective alternatives to surgery. You may prefer to explore these first, before committing to irreversible surgery.

Some gynaecologists think that nature got it wrong when creating a woman’s body, and that science can put it right. You may take exception to that idea. Or perhaps just don’t want your organs removed unless there really is no other choice.

Were you aware that the term hysterectomy is derived from the word hysteria? That may give you an insight into the way medical science views women in general.

Did you know that breast cancer is big business in the pharmaceutical industry? Could it be that they don’t want you to know about cures because that would affect their business? There have been so many documented cases of natural cures of cancer now, that they’re almost common place.

Whatever it is you’re looking for in a quality women’s health magazine, there’s no getting away from the effective and low cost homeopathic treatment of gynaecological issues. And that’s not taking into consideration the lack of side effects or long term consequences. There just aren’t any.

Homeopathic treatment is all about getting to the cause of the problem. In your case that could be from typical women’s health issues such as taking the pill or childbirth, but it could also be from a more general cause such as concussion or a tetanus vaccine.

Did you know that there are two ways of using homoeopathic remedies? One is to use the services of a professional homeopath, which is the only sensible way to resolve deep issues.

But you can also use homoeopathic remedies in the safety of your own home, given some sound advice and a homeopathic home prescribing kit.

So a good quality women’s health magazine needs to cover aspects of general health, as well as that specifically related to women’s health. Aspects such as

a good die – after all, diet is such a large part of good health, you need to ensure you’ve got a handle on that.
dietary supplements – there are many available and they’re not all equal. How do you know which is most effective?
effective, alternative, natural medicines – why take drugs or have surgery if you don’t have to?

On May 10, 2009, the whole nation will kick off the week long celebration and observance of women’s health – the National Women’s Health Week. This week will be all about women and how they can all take simple steps in order to improve their lives: healthier, happier, and longer. The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health makes it their thrust to encourage women to prioritize their health, above anything else.

Various activities and contests will be launched and set up to get women involved and excited about this weeklong event. Some of the activities include the National Women’s Check-Up Day which will be launched on May 11, and the eight-week Women Challenge, which is an online physical activity program that begins on May 10. Various other organizations will participate as well, to get women educated and involved in the move towards a healthier life.

Simple Steps to Improve Health

Simple steps are being promoted and encouraged among women in order to bring about significant changes in their health and lifestyle. Some of these include:

1) Getting at least 2 hours of moderate physical activity, or an hour of intense physical activity

2) Eating a healthier, more nutritious diet

3) Getting regular check ups and screenings

4) Discarding or avoiding risky, unhealthy habits such as smoking, excessive drinking, and not wearing a seatbelt

5) Giving importance to mental health; this is addressed by getting enough sleep and managing stress

By effecting some simple changes in your lifestyle, you’ll be able to drastically improve the quality of your living and more importantly, your health. This is the change the National Women’s Health Week is striving to increase awareness of.

Registering Your Organization

Many organizations have signed up and have become a part of the participation with the National Women’s Health Week. Organizations may register online and post their events and proclamations for this week long celebration. Not only does this give a chance for organizations to promote their activities, it also provides a feedback form for attendees to answer and evaluate the event hosted. For more information, log on to www.womenshealth.gov.

Provision of Health Resources

The National Women’s Health Week is also a good resource for information related to health. Their website provides general links and resources to some of the most common health concerns such as cancer, menopause, HIVs, and STIs. Log on to their website for quick and easy access to their information.

All in all, the National Women’s Health Week is an effort towards awareness, education, and improvement of women’s health. In the world today, women are at terrible risk for all sorts of diseases and health problems, and it’s about time to combat this.

Scientists and community members speak about a variety of topics including: 1) the dramatic need for scientific information on women’s health and on gender-specific factors determining health and disease; 2) the scientific tradition of excluding women as participants in many clinical trials, and the continuing practice of “pooling” subject data rather than analyzing health outcomes by gender that have each contributed to this “knowledge gap,”; 3) the progress being made in reversing these historical trends, and; 4) new scientific information being uncovered in women’s health and gender-specific medicine.

Women’s health is a delicate matter that is in constant change from the time you are born. Every single stage in a woman’s life is faced with different changes, not to mention the menstrual cycle that starts as soon as you reach your teens. Women are faced with questions about their health everyday, and to answer them you need to have the right women’s health clinic.

Prevention
Understand your body as it is unique. There might be many general rules and regulations applied to women’s health. However, remember that your body is unique and that there can be instances where you will react totally different than what the general rule predicted.

In order to know your body well you need to have regular check ups in a women’s health clinic where your doctor will draw a chart with your family history and present physical state. All this information will help you address the issues your body is facing at any given time accurately, and thus pinpoint a health hazard situation even before it occurs.

One of the most frequent issue women face is hormonal imbalance, which occurs every month before, during and sometimes after your period. The symptoms are mood swings, irritability, loss of appetite or increased appetite, and sometimes insomnia.

Most of us women and men are aware of these symptoms as you must have seen them in one of your relatives at one point or the other. However, if you do understand them you may be able to deal with them differently. Women’s health clinics provide assistance with these symptoms and other hormonal imbalances that women face during a life span such as during pregnancy and menopause.

Locate A Women’s Health Clinic Near You
It is essential for the good health of your body and mind to try and locate a women’s health clinic close to you and try to access the same. The advantage of attending a women’s health clinic over a general clinic is that they deal with specific female issues and try to resolve them.

Women face many traumas during a life span from the health point of view and it can easily take a toll on their other capabilities. For example, pregnancy and menopause can cause severe depressions that inevitably will interfere with your other areas of life such as professional and personal.

To handle women’s health efficiently, and before it can cause severe damage, locate a women’s health clinic that is suitable to you and try to engage in regular visits. You will soon see a great improvement in your physical and mental health by just gathering the required knowledge. When you also have answers to the situations you are faced with you will once again feel in control of your life.

Pregnancy is an exciting, but also sensitive time for women. During this period, women need not only take care of their own health, but the health of their offspring as well. However, pregnant women need not give up eating all the food they love. All they need to do is eat smart, and ensure that their food choices are healthy ones. Here are some great healthy eating tips for pregnant women.

Watch Your Serving Size

According to nutrition experts pregnant women need an estimated three hundred extra calories each day during this crucial period. However, the extra amount of calories they require will depend on their weight before they got pregnant. Pregnant women also have to follow the appropriate serving recommendations, by talking to their health care provider about having the appropriate eating plan. Pregnant women also need to take close tabs on their serving portions, because they may be eating more than what they think.   

Daily Food Serving Guidelines To Follow

Women should be careful of what they eat, and how they eat during pregnancy. They need to remember that fatty foods like chips, cookies, doughnuts and sweets like sodas and candy do not give their baby the right amount of nutrition they actually need. Here is some interesting food serving guidelines to consider.  

- Pregnant women should consume at least six ounces of grains per day. An ounce of grains is equivalent to 1 cup ready-to-eat cereal, 1 small pancake, 1 slice bread and 1 small tortilla.

- 2 ½ cup serving of vegetables. A cup of vegetables is equivalent to 1 cup vegetable juice, 1 cup raw or cooked vegetables and 1 medium-baked potato.  

-  1 ½ cup of fruits. A daily serving of 1 ½ cup of fruits is equivalent to ½ cup of fruit, ¼ cup dried fruit, 16 grapes or ½ cup fresh, frozen or canned fruit.

- 3 cups of milk each day. This daily serving is equivalent to 1 cup yogurt, 1 ½ ounces natural cheese, 2 ounces processed cheese and 1 cup milk.  

- 5 ½ ounces of protein each day. This daily serving is equivalent to ¼ cup cooked dry beans, 1 egg, ½ cup nuts, 1 ounce of poultry, meat or fish, and a tablespoon peanut butter.

Apart from considering the daily serving guidelines mentioned above, pregnant women should also take regular doses of folic acid. Folic acid helps prevent serious birth defects and spinal cord defects. Women of child-bearing age need to take at least 40 micrograms of folic acid each day before and during pregnancy. Foods that are rich sources of folic acid include enriched grain products, green leafy vegetables, orange juice, beans and vitamin-fortified breakfast cereals.  

Ok, so you know Vitamins and Minerals are important. Most every woman knows that.

However, not everyone understands WHY they are so important for their body. So I recently asked Registered Dietitian Jayson Hunter to give us the easy rundown on the Top Women’s Vitamins. Here’s what he had to say:

Vitamin A – This vitamin contributes to the health of you eyes, skin and nails.

Vitamim B – While B Vitamins are often referred to as “energy vitamins” they don’t actually give you a surge of energy, per se. What they actually do is help facilitate metabolic reaction in the body to create energy. They’re also necessary for a  healthy metabolism.

Vitamin C – This women’s vitamin is a great antioxidant and immune system booster. It also helps skin health.

Vitamin D – Helps women absorb calcium. And it may help prevent certain types of cancer.

calcium – It’s actually a mineral not a vitamin. And as most women know already, it improves bone density.

Pretty simple, right? But you can also see why it’s so important to understand vitamins for women. When we understand the reasons to make healthier choices it helps us make them.

Now, I get asked all the time by women which vitamin supplements, if any, they need to be taking. Great question.

Well, if your nutrition is 100% perfect all the time then you probbaly don’t need to take any.

But that’s not the case for most women. Most women are busy as heck and don’t always find the time for proper nutrition. So if that’s the case with you I recommend taking a Whole Foods based Multi-Vitamin. And the only one I recommend is Prograde Nutrition’s VGF 25+ for Women.

It’s actually really cool because it’s literally made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits. You should definitely check out Prograde’s Women’s Vitamins At the very top of the page is the list of ingredients. You can see the 25 whole foods they use to make VGF 25+ for Women.

Yours in health,

Tyler

PS – Pretty cool, huh? The nutrition of 25 whole foods in a bottle!

Soroptimist International is an international volunteer organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the word. Almost 100,000 Soroptimists in roughly 120 countries and territories contribute time and financial support to community-based and international projects benefiting women and girls. Clubs in Soroptimist International of the Americas receive numerous awards, such as the Women’s Opportunity Awards, for implementing projects benefiting girls and women seeking education. Soroptimist also offers funds for club projects through the Soroptimist Club Grant. Finally, individual clubs can choose to conduct community projects to help girls and women seeking education in the surrounding area.

Women’s Opportunity Awards

The Women’s Opportunity Awards program is Soroptimist’s major project. This award improves the lives of women by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills, and employment prospects. Each year, Soroptimist clubs in 19 countries and territories assist women in overcoming personal difficulties and improving their lives through education and skills training. The women may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, including books, childcare and transportation.

Past award recipients include Maria P., who worked as an unschooled field laborer until her husband deserted her and her two children. After her second husband deserted her, leaving her with no income, Maria applied for and received a Women’s Opportunity Award from her local Soroptimist club. She went on to win an additional cash award from Soroptimist’s Desert Coast Region before receiving the $10,000 finalist Women’s Opportunity Award. Recently, Maria was accepted into a nursing program, and began her course of study. Once Maria graduates and earns her registered nurse designation, she plans to work as a nurse while continuing her studies. Her work as a lab technician has inspired her to further pursue her interests in medicine and science. Maria is one of hundreds of women who credit the Women’s Opportunity Awards with providing the financial means to achieve their dreams through education.

Many Women’s Opportunity Award recipients have overcome enormous obstacles in their quest for a better life, including poverty, domestic violence, substance abuse, and in some cases, trafficking. Each year, more than $1 million is disbursed through the awards at various levels of the organization to help women achieve their dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. Since the Women’s Opportunity Awards program began in 1972, it is estimated that $20 million has been disbursed and more than 22,500 women have been assisted. In 2007, the Women’s Opportunity Awards received the Summit Award from the ASAE & The Center of Association Leadership, its highest honor, bestowed on associations that implement innovative community-based programs.

Soroptimist Club Grants for Women and Girls

Soroptimist Club Grants for Women and Girls are given annually to Soroptimist Clubs initiating or continuing innovative projects benefiting women and girls. Grants range from $1,000 to $10,000. Since 1997, more than $1.4 million has been disbursed to 228 Soroptimist Club projects, from which more than 130,000 women have benefited. Recent projects include providing resources for immigrant women fleeing domestic violence; funding a micro-enterprise artisan project for low-income women; providing reproductive health services for women in poverty; and teaching marketable job skills to girls with disabilities. This grant program also benefits women and girls seeking education. For example, a club in Taipei, Taiwan, recently won a Soroptimist Club Grant to provide tutoring and training to low-income teenage girls.

The tutoring program emphasized math and English-language skills, and was offered to adolescent girls from aboriginal and low-income families. The classes provided skills training and development, and helped spark interest and excitement about education among the girls. Club members volunteered as tutors and mentors to the girls, and also collected school supplies, including books and stationery for program participants. The program benefited more than 200 young women. Another recent grant, awarded to a Philippines club, went towards a project providing free computer education to women and girls living in the local barangay. The funds were used to pay for instructors, books, instruction materials, meals and transportation to and from the class.

Soroptimist Disaster Relief Fund for Women and Girls

Soroptimist has a long-standing Disaster Relief Fund, which is supported by voluntary donations from members. Funds may be distributed to a number of projects directly benefiting women in areas of conflict who are seeking access to education. For example, in 2006, Soroptimist awarded the Center for Women’s Development and Research in India a $40,000 grant for a project designed to provide health education and health services to nearly 2,500 women, and to provide supplementary education, life skills and vocation skills-training to 250 adolescent girls. Also in 2006, Soroptimist awarded $29,000 to a project named “Project Sri Lanka”. The funds went towards moving a girls’ school-one of Sri Lanka’s leading national schools damaged by the tsunami-and helping fund the reconstruction of four classrooms. In addition, Soroptimist worked with the organization to form a scholarship program, and funded an additional $18,000 that would enable low-income girls to attend school.
