Can we just admit that it’s tough being a woman? Tougher than it is being a man? (Of course, men are often part of the problem — but we’ll leave that for another article.)
No matter how fit and healthy a woman is, for instance, most who are in the early teens up to the late 40s or so, have to deal with menstruation once a month.
If you aren’t eating right, you have lots of problems.
When that’s the case, you ideally are at least swallowing a multivitamin or three every day as a way to keep up with your body’s needs for essential vitamins and minerals. That’s right, certain things are essential for your health. Most of the time you get enough vitamins and minerals by eating a variety of vegetables and fruits, and protein like beans, nuts, and chicken and beef.
If you have 10 friends, the chances are that one of them has thyroid disease.
Maybe you have it, too, and you need to know more about what your thyroid does and how you can help fight back against disorders.
Thyroid disease affects women more often than men and about 20 million people, or 12% of the population, have thyroid disease in the U.S. It can cause weight gain and mood changes if your thyroid produces too much or too little of the hormones that support every organ in your body.
If your liver never gives you a reason to think about it, that’s good. It’s going about its business keeping you alive, and probably has no issues.
Even better: Think about what you can do to keep your liver healthy, so that it continues to quietly function without worry.
