National Women’s Health Week

It’s time to focus on women’s health, because this week (May 11-17) is National Women’s Health Week. For all the men out there receiving this, don’t feel left out. Just pass this along to your Mom, sister, wife and friends. And guys the link below which says “web site” has lots of great information for men, too.

 

It’s hard to keep up with all of our commitments these days. Women are pulled in a million different directions, and sometimes we let our health check-ups and screenings fall by the wayside as a result.

 

The Office on Women’s Health at the US Department of Health and Human Services sponsors this awareness week to encourage women to make their health a top priority. Their web site has tons of great information. We hope you’ll take some time to browse the list of topics to see what might be helpful to you.

 

Following are some items that we found to be particularly timely and valuable:

 

·           Screening Tests and Immunizations Guidelines for Women

·           Frequently Asked Questions — Mammograms

·           Research on Cancers in Women

·           Women and Sleep

How much sleep did you get last night? Most people would answer, “Not enough!” In doing research for our weekly blog tips for you, we have learned a few things:  

1. There are lots of awareness days, weeks and months for health-related issues; and 
2. There should be awareness days, weeks and months for health-related issues, because we are learning lots, and we hope you are too.

March 3-9 is National Sleep Awareness Week, and we have learned (well, we really already knew this, but it’s nice to have it confirmed) that sleep problems can affect our relationships, productivity at work, driving, and yes, even our health. 

Most experts agree that adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night. Preschool and school-age children need even more.  

To get a general idea of how much sleep is needed based on age, see the How Much Sleep Do You Really Need? Chart on the National Sleep Foundation web site.  

The accompanying article “How Much Sleep Do We Really Need?” is full of good information. Also available on the site are tons of tips for getting better sleep and things to look for if you have a sleep disorder. 

So, check out this information and then set a goal to get your optimum sleep each night. You’ll feel better and think better. Sweet dreams. Don’t let the bed bugs bite!
