As the Health Director of Lake County, I am honored to recognize the National Women’s Health Week (NWHW), taking place from May 15 to May 21, 2023. This week serves as an important reminder of the crucial role women play in our families, communities, and society, and the importance of prioritizing their health and well-being.
This year’s NWHW theme is “Your Health at Every Age.” It beautifully underscores the concept that health is a lifelong journey, unique to each individual, and it’s never too early or too late to make decisions that support your well-being. As we observe this week, let’s stand alongside the women in our lives – our mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and colleagues – recognizing their health experiences, listening to their needs, and offering support in ways they find most meaningful. We celebrate the diverse paths to health and wellness, understanding that every woman’s health journey is distinct and deeply personal.
Here are some ways you can participate:
- Schedule Your Regular Check-ups: Prevention is always better than cure. Regular screenings can detect health conditions early when they are easier to treat. Contact your healthcare provider to ensure that you are up-to-date with your screenings and check-ups.
- Eat Healthily and Stay Active: Incorporate fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your diet. Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day. Remember, small steps can lead to improved health outcomes.
- Practice Mental Wellness: Mental health is just as important as physical health. Seek support if you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed. Prioritize self-care and make sure to get plenty of sleep.
- Avoid Harmful Habits: Refrain from smoking and limit alcohol intake. If you need help quitting, don’t hesitate to reach out to local resources or your healthcare provider.
- Stay Safe: Follow general safety rules and practice safe behaviors.
As a community, and to celebrate this week, we must remember that every woman’s health journey is unique, and the Lake County health department is here to support every step of the way. This week, and every week, let’s strive to be the healthiest versions of ourselves.
Stay Healthy,
JP.
