1, women's health concerns
1. Not very clean.
It is enough to wash your hands with ordinary soap and water, but antibacterial products will backfire. Nowadays, antibacterial products have been widely used in people's lives, such as various antibacterial soaps, hand sanitizers, shower gels and so on. As housewives, women often use these products for the health of their families. "However, this has not kept people away from influenza and colds, broken the balance of flora in the body and weakened the sensitivity of the human body to bacteria. Instead, the bacteria in the body are confused. " Dr. Mary believes that most microorganisms are necessary to maintain the health of human digestion and nutrient absorption system. Frequent use of antibacterial products will make it difficult for these beneficial microorganisms to survive.
2. Long-term use of short-acting oral contraceptives.
This study further concludes that short-acting oral contraceptives can reduce the prevalence of uterine cancer and continue to be protected within 30 years after stopping taking them. Studies have shown that women's risk of uterine cancer is reduced by 20% after taking medicine for 5 years. Continuous administration of 15 years can reduce the risk of cancer by half.
3. Drink black tea.
Gum disease is a cause of heart disease. Bacteria in the mouth can form thousands of tiny blood clots, which can narrow arteries and lead to heart disease. How to protect gums? The best way is to insist on drinking black tea. American experts found that black tea can reduce bacterial activity, reduce the probability of dental disease, and thus reduce the risk of heart disease. Black tea can not only kill bacteria in the mouth, but also produce an enzyme, which can turn sugar into a sticky substance, thus strengthening teeth.
4. Take folic acid.
In order to prevent birth defects of newborns, pregnant women must take 400 micrograms of folic acid before 12 weeks of pregnancy. The study also found that folic acid supplementation in women can reduce the incidence of macular degeneration. At present, Harvard Medical School has proved that taking folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B 12 for two years can delay organ aging.
5. Try not to drink carbonated drinks.
Carbonated drinks such as cola contain phosphoric acid in the form of phosphate, which will affect the absorption of calcium. A study on osteoporosis shows that drinking five cans of soda, including four cans of cola, will reduce the bone density of elderly women by 4%. Researchers at the Institute of Human Nutrition of Tufts University's Center for Aging and Female Osteoporosis suggest that women should try not to drink carbonated drinks.
6. Don't be too thin.
The ideal body mass index is around 24. The calculation method of body mass index is: weight (kg) divided by the square of height (m). The average height of British women is 5 feet 4 inches (1.62 meters). The normal weight of a woman of this height should be 140 pounds (63.5 kilograms). If it is lower than this weight, it will affect fertility. For example, women whose body mass index is less than 18.5 are less likely to get pregnant. In addition, women with body mass index less than 19 are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis.
7. Avoid hormone replacement therapy.
Although hormone replacement therapy can prevent diseases such as heart disease, osteoporosis, ulcer and intestinal cancer, there is increasing evidence that the increase of estrogen and progesterone will increase the risk of breast cancer. Estrogen replacement therapy alone will increase the risk of cervical cancer, while progesterone replacement therapy alone will increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
8. Don't smoke.
Smoking women are twice as likely to get sick as non-smoking women. The accumulation of nicotine in uterine mucus will reduce the body's resistance to human papillomavirus, thus greatly increasing the risk of cervical cancer. In addition, smoking can also destroy the immune system of the human body. Therefore, American experts call for: don't smoke, especially women.
9. I want my children to get more sunshine.
British obstetricians and gynecologists believe that many women do not ovulate because they lack vitamin D. According to the analysis of fertility consultants, 50% of British women lack vitamin D, and 12% of them have no fixed ovulation period. To this end, experts from Yale University asked women with irregular ovulation period to supplement vitamin D by sunbathing, and the results showed that their ovulation cycle was significantly improved. Therefore, experts suggest that women who want to have children can get enough vitamin D by sunbathing for 20 minutes every day.
10. Be careful with your prescription drugs.
Some prescription drugs may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause skin problems. These prescription drugs include antibiotics, cholesterol-lowering drugs, birth control pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, drugs for acne and drugs for hypertension and diabetes. If you are taking them, you must pay special attention to sun protection when you go out.
1 1. Eat more bananas.
A survey by the Mental Health Foundation shows that14 middle-aged women are experiencing depression and anxiety. Depression usually occurs because of the lack of "happy hormone" in the body, that is, serotonin. The lack of compound amine is due to the insufficient intake of amino acids and tryptophan, and the human body cannot synthesize such amino acids, so it can only be ingested through food. Dr Caroline Romon, author of The Secret of Compound Amines, points out that you should eat more turkey, cheese, plums and bananas to supplement tryptophan. Therefore, experts recommend that women eat 4- 1 1 banana per week.
12. Drink less.
When women drink a glass of wine every day, the probability of breast cancer rises from 9.5% to 10.6%. In addition, drinking alcohol may also cause other cancers. At present, experts have not clearly given the safe range of drinking, but they suggest not drinking or drinking as little as possible.
1complete delivery before the age of 3.30.
The study found that the incidence of breast cancer decreased by 7% when women gave birth between the ages of 20 and 30. According to the statistics of British Breast Cancer Research Association, the incidence of breast cancer and other diseases will be reduced by 4.3% after breastfeeding 12 months. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding can reduce estrogen levels, which also means reducing the risk of cancer. At the same time, the incidence of gallbladder diseases will also be reduced by 7%. A recent study in Sweden also found that breast-feeding for more than 13 months will halve the risk of rheumatoid arthritis in women. www.ff70.com
14. Insist on weight training.
According to the data of the British Spinal acupressure therapy Association, 70% of women will experience back pain in their lifetime. If you are experiencing pain, the best way to relieve it is to do more dumbbells and barbells. American experts suggest that women with low back pain should insist on doing weight-bearing exercise for at least 16 weeks, of which 12% should do aerobic exercise, which can also help you relieve low back pain.
15. Watch out for abdominal fat.
A bloated belly is not only ugly, but also hides health risks. 10% people suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. What needs to be more vigilant is that this is often a sign of ovarian cancer, and the possibility of 70%-75% is that the cancer has metastasized to the abdomen. If the belly fat is obvious and the abdominal distension persists, you must seek medical advice in time.
16. Make love 200 times a year.
Columbia University cardiologist believes that if a woman can have 200 orgasms a year, her physiological age will be 6 years younger. The frequency of sexual life is related to the overall health status, which can make people get more health benefits.
2. How to enhance resistance?
1, providing enough nutritious diet, insufficient nutritional intake and poor resistance. Eating more fresh colorful vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, or supplementing some multivitamin preparations, can effectively increase the body's resistance.
2. Physical exercise is an important aspect of strengthening physical fitness. Physical exercise adapts to the cold environment, so it is not easy to catch a cold when the climate changes. Regular exercise can also enhance appetite. Intake enough nutrients, physical fitness will be enhanced, and resistance will be significantly increased.
3. Ensure adequate sleep. Poor sleep will reduce the number of T cells responsible for dealing with viruses and tumors in the body and increase the chance of getting sick. Experts suggest that you need 8- 10 hours of sleep every day.
