Dear women, you are an important part of our society. As a woman, your health and mental well-being is supreme.

ILS Hospitals, one of the best hospitals in Kolkata, would like to present some health tips every woman should follow for a healthy body and mind.

1. Eat a healthy diet:

We’ve heard this almost all the time because it’s a true fact. Women should include fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, poultry, seafood, dairy products, dry fruits, legumes, lentils and so on in their diet.

2. Stay hydrated:

Drinking water is unavoidable. Apart from drinking adequate water, you should also have healthy soups, juices, lassi, buttermilk, smoothies and so on. Milk is something all women must include in their daily routine. Have a glass of milk every night to get the dose of calcium and prevent insomnia.

3. Be physically active:

In a busy schedule, it’s difficult for some people to visit the gym and do other physical activities. However, being physically active is not difficult. Even a 10-minute-walk to your nearest park or maidan can help your body and mind. Try walking, running, yoga and even doing household chores for a fit body.

4. Abandon your bad habits:

Bad habits are hard to break but with determination and strong support system there’s a chance of quitting them forever. Some common bad habits are:

• Smoking

• Drug and alcohol abuse

• Being unhygienic

• Undereating or overeating

• Consuming unhealthy and outside food

• Constantly stressing over things

• Being negative

• Addiction to smartphones and other gadgets.

So, say goodbye to your bad habits!

5. Practice proper hygiene:

Maintaining hygiene has been taught to us from our school days. Here are some simple personal and feminine hygiene tips for all girls and women:

• Brush and floss twice a day

• Shower or bath once a day

• Clean your vagina with warm water

• Wash hands frequently

• Wash your face at least twice a day

• Shampoo and condition your hair once or twice a week

• Keep your nails trimmed and tidy

• Wear clean underwear and clothes

6. Visit a medical professional regularly:

As a woman, gynaecologist is going to be your best friend. Visit a good gynaecologist and raise your concerns regarding your health. You should also ask the gynaecologist about multivitamin supplements and breast self-examination.

7. Be positive:

A positive mind is a healthy and happy mind. Do not take stress unnecessarily. Love and care for the ones around you and get the same in return. Stress and anxiety are called silent killers, avoid them completely. Seek professional therapy if you find yourself unable to deal with your current situation.
