Self-Care is the Best Care

By / Self-Care / Leave a Comment

A woman’s health can only be done by the person in the body. No one can make you take care of yourself except you. If you haven’t been taking time for yourself lately, think about all the time you’ll have to do nothing when you are either lying flat on your back in bed or the worse, dead. That’s pretty harsh I know but it’s something women need to consider. Self care is the best care. For most, it’s the only type of care we haven’t mastered. Take time for you. Life is short and you only go around once. Make self care a part of your normal schedule and learn to make it the best care you practice.

Becoming a vegan has been a great journey even though not a smooth one. I was vegan once before in life – before leaving for the Peace Corps in West Africa. I didn’t know that was what you called it back then, I just knew I had gradually starting taking more animal products out of my diet. If you haven’t tried it, I hope you’ll consider taking a few steps in this direction very soon.

The word is out; high blood pressure has been branded a top public health enemy in the US. According to the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it only trails tobacco when it comes to affecting lives. Having high blood pressure makes you at risk for heart disease and stroke. And the problem is that you can have this disease without ever knowing it. If something makes you four times more likely to die of a stroke and three times more likely to die of heart disease, it’s something to take very seriously.
