I know that we all know what we should be doing but I thought that these facts and figures might remind us all and keep us on the straight and narrow!

In its guidelines for women, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association on February 20, 2007, the AHA urges women to:

Eat a diet rich in whole foods like fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes (beans and peas).
Eat seafood at least twice a week. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna and mackerel are emphasised because they contain heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Cut down on saturated-fat-rich foods like red meat and full-fat dairy products like whole milk and cheese.
Stop smoking.
Exercise regularly. Women who need to lose weight should get 60 to 90 minutes of exercise per day rather than the 30 minutes typically advised for adults in general.
These AHA guidelines are essentially the same guidelines taught at the Pritikin Longevity Centre. The results of the Pritikin Program for men and women, published in more than 110 studies in leading peer-reviewed journals over the past three decades, demonstrate just how powerfully – and quickly – lifestyle changes can benefit our health.

Tips on Finding the Best Womens Health Supplements

1. Only buy supplements from companies that are pharmaceutical GMP compliant. These companies follow tight regulatory standards. Buyer beware - dietary supplements are not tested or regulated in the United States. They may not actually deliver what they claim on the label. In some cases, products have been discovered that contain lead or other contaminants.

2. Check the label to see if the health supplements are made up of cheap additive fillers such as cornstarch, rice, sugar, silica (sand), artificial colors, etc.

3. Only buy standardized extracts. That way you get true potency of the herbs and nutrients. Get your money's worth and avoid cheating your body out of the health benefits it should have. Don't take risks with your health.

Hello, nice information and tips on women' health. Regular exercises and use of natural supplements makes their body fit and attractive. It cures problems like mood changes , weight loss and sexual problems also.

I know that I have heard that there are some supplements can help women with the particular hormonal and other challenges they face,but I am not sure which ones. Do you know? I ask because my wife is going through the menopause and suffers from a lot of mood swings and up s and downs. She does not want to see the doctor but I thought if you could mention some of the natural supplements, then I could see if she would give them a try!

I would be really grateful for any that you have had person experience of seeing that they are effective.
