Health Is Wealth: WANNA BE HEATHY? JUST FOLLOW WOMEN

WANNA BE HEATHY? JUST FOLLOW WOMEN

There’s nothing wrong in taking help from the opposite sex to improve your health. Here are some simple health and fitness tips that you should steal from your woman...

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY
    While most men are fussy about their looks, they don’t pay attention to the first signs of health problems. Ask a woman and you’ll realise how often she checks her body. To ensure good health, pay attention, especially to your skin — has it suddenly changed colour? Have you noticed any moles? Have you developed a rash? Get to know your body more.
TAKE UP A SPIRITUAL EXERCISE CLASS
    For most men, exercising means working out at the gym. However, this means that you could be missing
out on health benefits offered by other f e m a l e - d o m i n at e d forms of exercise. To boost your mental and emotional wellbeing, say experts, you should add yoga, Tai Chi or Pilates to your gym routine. Not only do these keep you physically fit, they also improve your posture and flexibility, increase your energy levels, strength and stamina and reduce stress.
GO FOR
PERIODIC
TESTS
    Instead of waiting for small symptoms to become something serious, track the changes in your body by visiting your doctor periodically. Research says that while women are generally good at going for
regular checkups, men tend to ignore their symptoms. Do yourself a favour and don’t take a chance with your health, no matter how insignificant you think your symptom is.
LET YOUR GUARD DOWN
    If you think women are silly for confiding every detail of their lives in their girlfriends, think again. Experts say many men are vary about opening up to others, because they think it will make them vulnerable. However, sharing your woes actually helps you bond and release stress. So, if you’re feeling low, don’t let it pent up. Instead, share your troubles with a friend and you will end up feeling better.
RUN MORE
    For some strange reason, many men prefer limiting their workouts to weight-lifting and building muscles. Women, on the other hand, are likelier to choose cardio exercise. A well-rounded fitness routine should include both. No matter what your fitness goal is, aerobic exercise — it could be of any type — is a must for good health. So, hop on that treadmill once in a while.
PAMPER YOURSELF
    While most women won’t think twice before heading for a pampering session, men can be less forthcoming. Take some tips from your better half and start taking a little care of yourself. Go for a spa treatment every couple of months. Benefits include reduced back pain and a better sense of well-being.
