Women’s Health Week 2017
The information in this article is immensly helpful and should not be ignored. Below are just two of the a list of tips offered:
Tip 1: Women’s Heart Health
“Women should talk
to their doctors about heart risk as early as age 20. Conditions that
occur during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia,
can increase the risk of heart disease in the future. Know your risks
and trust your instincts.” –
Dr. Nisha Jhalani, cardiologist, NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center
Tip 2: Cancer Prevention
“Recent
studies have shown that rates of colon and rectal cancer are rising
sharply among young Americans. No matter your age, if you have signs or
symptoms such as rectal bleeding, bloody stool or significant
unexplained weight loss, speak with your doctor. Know your body, if
something changes or feels different, get it checked.” –
