6 Common Health Questions For Women
Sometimes there are some small health issues that bother women but most of them don’t know what to do and also find uneasy to consult a specialist with such small problems. But those problems keep bothering all right. So here they go-
Q.1) Why can’t I get a good night’s sleep?
Ans:- The condition for this is known as insomnia. It can also happen with thyroid problem or restless leg syndrome. What most doesn’t think is our modern lifestyle! It is so stressful that our adrenaline and anxiety is always there during the day.
The solution for this is to make the mind free of all the stresses one has to go through during the day by relaxing. Listening to music, watching some low-key movie or other things that help you relax. One should refrain from doing what will make the adrenaline rush again such as working out or eating.
Q.2) Even when I get the right amount of sleep, I am still dragging all the time. What’s going on?
Ans:- There might be a medical problem like thyroid or anemia (a condition marked by insufficient red-blood-cell production, often a result of heavy periods or not eating meat) making the body tire soon. Depression may also be the cause.
But most often it is again the busy life that is the culprit. So one needs to balance the schedule of the day so that the body is not burnt out.
Q.3) Should I worry about breast cancer?
Ans:- breast cancer does not usually happen to women bellow 35 years of age unless of course it runs in the family gene. So one should not panic unnecessarily and if any suspicious symptoms develop, there is always the gyno.
Q.4) Why is it so hard for me to shake those extra kilos?
Ans:- Gaining weight primarily depends on three factors – gene, diet and workouts. Out of them, genes are difficult to do away with as heredity plays very important role in our metabolism. If it is not the case, eating right and doing sufficient exercise will take care of those extra kilos. Be careful about eating less the your body requires.
Q.5) Do I need to take a vitamin supplement? Which one?
Ans:- There is benefit if one takes multivitamin on a regular or daily basis because it contains each nutrient and calcium supplement. It should also contain iron and folic acid.
