Adult women today are under more stress than women in any previous generation. While the sources of stress are both internal and external, there’s no doubt that stress has a deleterious effect on women’s health, and that it can certainly accelerate the aging process.

One of the stressors that women face is the enormous pressure to juggle family and work. With over 70 percent of elementary school children having a working mom, mothers strive to shine in their careers while giving their children the care and attention they need to thrive. Throw in assorted soccer practices, dance lessons, swim team trials, and other after school activities - plus the occasional business trip - and women often find themselves

racing from one event to another. Housekeeping chores, even when shared, add another layer of “to-dos” to a woman’s life. The end result is that the things that a woman does for her own physical, spiritual, and mental health fall to the bottom of the list, and are all too often neglected.

Where do you go if you have women’s health questions? Do you go to your favorite doctor-like website? Do you look through magazines or do you just ask your friends? Maybe you actually go and visit your doctor? I have found that when it comes to questions of a sensitive nature, I’d much rather go online and try to find an answer that way than talk face to face with somebody I know. For example, if I have a general question I have no problem polling some of my female friends. How long is the average woman’s cycle? 28 days? Okay, no big deal to talk about with friends or family. But when there’s something that isn’t quite right,

or maybe even wrong, I’d rather keep it to myself than do an old fashioned friends poll.

Years ago, the word “anti aging” seemed to come only from science fiction movies. People joked about the Fountain of Youth and miracle medicines that were supposed to reverse the aging process to make one look 10 or 20 years younger. But today, anti-aging is more than a myth. Through scientific studies and the new cutting edge science in genomics, women are discovering that, by taking just a few steps, skin beauty and bodily cell health can indeed be encouraged. Here are five powerful anti aging tips for good women’s health.

There are a ton of different women’s health clubs that you can go to when you’re looking to lose a bit of weight or just tone up some flab. There are many different benefits that a woman gets when she exercises on a regular basis, and these days it’s imperative that women get off of the couch and get moving. Along with a reasonably balanced diet that includes lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains, exercising can drastically improve the quality of your life, as well as extend it quite a bit. Sure, you can work out at home, but unless you’ve got a well equipped gym that includes free weights, treadmills, elliptical machines and more, you’d probably be

better served paying a few extra dollars a month to go to a real gym.
