Don’t forget to take care of your heart and keep it strong
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death among women in Asia, accounting for 35% of all deaths in 2019. Data also shows that the region has the highest CVD mortality rate in the world, at 467.2 per 100,000 population. Despite being a disease that can affect women at any age, it is underdiagnosed and undertreated due to misunderstandings and a lack of awareness among both doctors and the general public. Regular health screenings to screen for risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity or diabetes are key to preventing heart disease.
In addition, regular exercise, a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight can help keep your heart healthy. Yoga and meditation can also help reduce stress levels, which has a positive effect on blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Exercise also helps blood vessels dilate and improve blood flow, which is good for your heart.
Nutritionally, heart-healthy foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. Foods rich in omega-3s and phytonutrients, such as fatty fish, flax seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and soy, may help reduce your risk of heart disease.
Maintain hormone balance
Hormonal changes are a part of a woman’s life, from reproductive years, pregnancy to menopause, which can cause symptoms such as irregular periods, mood swings, and fertility problems. Iron is one of the nutrients that is important for hormonal balance in women, as it is a major component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen throughout the body. Since women lose iron during their menstrual cycle, and many do not get enough of it each day, it is important to maintain an appropriate iron level, especially during times of hormonal change. Hormonal imbalances can be managed through lifestyle changes, a balanced diet, exercise, and regular health check-ups.
