May is the month when we celebrate and promote women’s health.

Recommendations for a healthy lifestyle:

Maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, get annual medical check-ups, and eat a balanced diet. Additionally, it is essential to undergo regular screenings, such as those for breast and cervical cancer, for early detection.

Stress can also affect health, so it is important to find time for self-care. Remember that health is not only physical but also emotional and mental.

Making positive lifestyle changes can improve the quality of life in the long term. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Cancer Society.
