Women's health is often ranked last.
In many families, women are the ones who manage most daily tasks, from taking care of children, preparing meals to taking care of daily life for the whole family. However, amidst a series of responsibilities, their own health is often neglected.
Headaches, insomnia, back pain or prolonged fatigue are often seen as normal things in a busy life. Many people try to endure instead of resting or going to the doctor early.
According to an article published on Boldsky, many women have become accustomed to prolonged exhaustion to the point of considering delaying health care as normal.
Dr. Jennifer Ashton - a women's health expert at ABC News - said that women tend to prioritize family needs more than themselves. This makes many people only seek medical facilities when symptoms have seriously affected daily life.
According to her, simple habits such as getting enough sleep, eating balanced, exercising regularly and having regular health check-ups play an important role in preventing exhaustion and diseases related to prolonged stress.
Mental pressure silently affects health
In addition to physical pressure, many women also have to bear spiritual responsibilities in the family such as taking care of emotions for loved ones, remembering work and handling many issues at the same time.
Dr. Pooja Lakshmin - clinical lecturer at George Washington University - said that many women always try to fulfill all responsibilities without spending time recovering mentally.
According to experts, taking care of yourself is not selfish but necessary to maintain long-term health and maintain balance in the family.
When women have time to rest, take care of physical and mental health properly, the quality of life of the whole family is also improved more positively.
