  Minefield 1: Gastrointestinal ailments cannot be ignored

  Experiments have shown that even if men and women eat the same amount of food, women have to spend much more time digesting it than men. Women are susceptible to chronic constipate and intestinal disease, which are twice and three times more common in men respectively.

  Countermeasures:

  1. Get rid of the bad habit of eating snacks randomly. If you eat snacks frequently, your stomach needs to secrete gastric juice at any time for digestion. When you eat, the secretion of gastric juice will be reduced. This affects appetite and digestion, and over time, it can easily lead to Stomach disease occurrence.

  2. Eat foods rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leeks, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, sweet potatoes, etc. Dietary fiber cannot be digested and absorbed in the intestines, but it can absorb water, thereby stimulating intestinal peristalsis and preventing constipation and diarrhea occurrence.

  3. Increase fat intake appropriately and eat less spicy and irritating foods.

  Minefield 2: The incidence of breast cancer remains high

  Relevant data show that breast cancer has risen to female Tumors top the list of threats to women healthy number one killer. Most patients accidentally discover a lump in one breast when taking a bath, changing clothes or touching their breasts. A few of them are discovered by doctors during physical examinations in their units.

  Generally speaking, malignant tumors have irregular shapes, unclear boundaries, limited movement, and uneven surfaces, while the opposite is true for benign tumors. These lumps start out small and slowly grow. when breast skin When it changes like orange peel or appears "dimple-like", it indicates disease In the late stages.

  Countermeasures:

  1. Avoid using hot water to stimulate the breasts when taking a bath, and do not soak in hot water for a long time. sleep It is best to lie on your back to avoid squeezing your breasts sideways. It is advisable to choose a bra that will not cause any pressure on the breasts.

  2. Eating an appropriate amount of fish, meat and dairy products can add a small amount of fat, provide sufficient nutrition to the breasts, and keep them plump.

  3. Pay special attention to breast health care during special stages such as female adolescence, menstruation, and pregnancy, so as to safely survive the "troubled autumn".

  4. Women aged 20 to 39 should have a breast self-examination every month and a breast physical examination every three years (women over 35 should have a basic mammogram). The best time for self-examination is: 9 to 11 days after menstruation every month, because the breasts are relatively soft at this time and lesions are easy to find. When doing breast self-examination, you should follow the method instructed by your doctor to avoid mistaking normal breast tissue for lumps and causing unnecessary panic.

  Minefield 3: Women’s ligaments are naturally fragile

  Medical experts remind women to be careful not to get injured because women are more likely to strain ligaments in joints such as knees and ankles than men. Once a ligament is strained, it can take several months to heal. Doctors believe this may be because women's wider hips put greater stress on knee and ankle ligaments, and women's ligaments are inherently much weaker than men's.

  Countermeasures:

  1. Don’t forget to stretch your whole body after getting up every day. It can wake up the muscles and soften tendons, ligaments, and joints.

  2. After a woman becomes pregnant, hormone levels in her body change, causing joint ligaments to relax. Therefore, women should arrange their work and life reasonably during pregnancy, take appropriate activities and rest more, do as little or avoid heavy physical labor as possible, and do not make the ligaments that are already in an abnormal period worse due to excessive fatigue and unnecessary strenuous activities.

  3. Women have poor adaptability to exercise and are prone to muscle strain and ligament strain, so they tend to choose various sports activities based on leg activities. The flexibility of table tennis, badminton, swimming, skating, aerobics, etc. can make your legs slimmer.

  Minefield 4: Early prevention of osteoporosis

  Generally speaking, more women than men have osteoporosis and severe bone atrophy, especially women in menopause. Women begin to lose calcium after the age of 28. As age increases, the rate of calcium loss also accelerates.

  Coping methods

  1. Eat more foods rich in calcium. Such as milk, seaweed, dried shrimps, soy products, celery, rape, carrots, black fungus, mushrooms, sesame seeds, etc. Keeping food fresh and stored can reduce calcium consumption. Sorghum, buckwheat, oats, corn and other miscellaneous grains contain more calcium than rice and flour, so you should eat some miscellaneous grains appropriately.

  2. Properly arrange exercises that can strengthen bones. Exercises such as gymnastics, walking and standing are of great significance in the treatment of osteoporosis. A total of 2 to 3 hours of standing and walking every day can prevent calcium loss.

  Running, playing ball, dancing and proper weight-bearing on the abdomen, back and limbs can maintain a certain tension in the muscles and put a certain amount of pressure on the bones, thereby strengthening the bones, reducing the chance of fractures, and playing a good role in inhibiting osteoporosis.
