Health Issues for Women Over 40
When you think about the health issues of women over forty, the first things that come to mind are menopause (peri-menopause, and pre-menopause) and breast cancer right? They're important health issues, and we should all be thinking about them. But it's also important to remember that women over forty have many health issues to consider. I learned that last week, after an irregular pap smear.
No need to worry about me--my irregular results turned out to be nothing. But the scare did inspire me to think about some other important health matters. For instance:
- thyroid health
- cholesterol
- skin cancer
- colon health
- and several others.
And don't forget that exercise is more important than ever once you've reached your forties. Check out this article about exercise and fitness for women over forty from wacotrib.com.
