Young Women - Take Care!
By Mike McMahan, R.Ph.
A young woman’s lifestyle can significantly
affect her lifespan. Cardiovascular disease
accounts for approximately 52% of all deaths
in women. In childhood, inactivity and high-
saturated fat diets can lead to obesity, which is a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease later in life. Tobacco use is also a major risk
factor. In young adulthood, cigarette smoking has become more
prevalent in girls than boys. Women who use oral contraceptives
and/or moderately consume alcohol and use tobacco have an even
greater chance of developing heart disease. So don’t wait until you;
are older to start worrying about your health. It is never too early to
start properly caring for your body by eating right, taking the
proper supplements, exercising and avoiding unhealthy behaviors.;
The attitude "I’m young and so it doesn’t matter” really isn’t so true.
