                      • 3 Cancer Symptoms Women Should Never Ignore

                         We lead busy lives—we work, spend time with our children or grandchildren, exercise, and even squeeze in date nights with our partners. There are only 24 hours in a day, and sometimes it's hard to fit in regular health screenings. However, those appointments could catch gynecologic cancers early on—when it's most treatable. There are five types of gynecological cancers: cervical, uterine, ovarian, vaginal and vulvar. Risk factors for these cancers include contracting HPV, being 60 or older, family histo...

                         Black and orange may not be the only colors you associate with October. Chances are you'll also see friends, family and co-workers donning pink ribbons for breast cancer awareness this month. Though we usually associate pink with women, it's important to know that breast cancer affects people of all genders. In America, 264,000 women and 2,400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer annually. To make sure you "think pink," here are three ways to take care of yourself.

                         You might not be shaking your hips the same way people do in music videos, but hip pain can still thwart women's everyday lives—whether you're dancing, gardening or just walking. While you might think you're too young to be concerned about hHip pain is common for women of all ages, and it's important to see your healthcare provider to ensure it is, in fact, hip pain you're feeling rather than thigh, buttock or lower back pain.

                         When we think of electrolytes, it's often in the form of a bottle of a sports' energy drink after a hard workout or drinking a rehydration beverage when we're sick. Those are great methods for hydration, but keeping your electrolytes balanced is also a way to support your heart's health and well-being. Here are five electrolytes that have been shown to boost heart health—no blue liquid required: Calcium regulates and maintains heart rhythm and blood pressure. Foods high in calcium include dairy, dark le...

While you may watch movies to escape reality and not focus on a total bummer, it is important to consider your gynecological health at least once a year. And what better time to talk about ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal and vulvar cancers than during September, which is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month. The American Cancer Society estimates that 19,680 women will be diagn...

                         Don't let misinformation make waves. Knowing the facts about breast health can help keep you afloat in a sea of information. Myth: Only women have to worry about breast cancer. Fact:  Though breast cancer is less common in men, it is more likely to be fatal. The CDC reported 2,300 new cases of male breast cancer in 2017. Myth: You can find all lumps with a self-exam. Fact: Breast cancer doesn't always cause lumps, and if bumps do develop, it could mean cancer has spread to your lymph nodes. While y...

                      • Adjusting for Time and Baby Proofing

                         As a new mother, it can be hard to find your footing. According to the Pew Research Center, 45 percent of moms with kids younger than 6 years say parenting is tiring all or most of the time. How can you make the adjustment easier? You took breastfeeding and prenatal classes, read every book you could get your hands on, and soaked up all the advice you could get from friends and family.

                         More than 50 million Americans battle allergies each year—and pollen produced by trees, grasses and weeds is frequently the cause. While pollen is harmless to some, the immune system of someone allergic releases antibodies to eliminate what it perceives as a danger. The histamines released during that process cause your eyes, nose and throat to swell, itch and produce mucus. Even if you know all about pollen, you may not know the best ways to combat it. Avoid these common spring allergy mistakes that ca...
