What Women Want...

Wish all the female readers a Happy Woman's Day from wellness and I.
Its a celebration of womanhood, being a woman but do women and I mean all educated women really know what they really want out of their health and life in totality? Do they understand what they should be wanting in order to be correct or lead a good life enriched with wellness? Hmmmm...I say no, not all do !!
How do I come to this conclusion? Well its easy because 'everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die', to put it simply if you are a woman you want to be appreciated for who you are - period. There are no two ways about whether you want to be appreciated for how you look or what personality you hold, because you do want to be appreciated for both and equally. I know I want it. I 'd be upset if I wasnt looking good and feeling good about myself and my health. So what is the key to this combination lock? As always the solution to our puzzles are always simpler than we expect them to be. How many of you want to look gorgeous but don't want to sweat it out the right way ? If I earn a nickle for everyone who would answer a yes to that question I would have earned a fortune. What women want and what women should want is really a different question all together. The key to this combination lock is a diet loaded with antioxidants and weight training thrice a week for not more than 40 min a day. Ahh!! if only it was easier said than done.
What women should get right is their bone density, hair luster and skin tone. Its not because it makes them more desirable but because these are key parameters to basics of their health. Let me take you through this one at a time.
BONE - Density of your bones is vital as it signifies rate of calcium - phosphorous deposition to erosion, density of the bone also keeps a check on hormonal balance such as thyroid, parathyroid, vitamin D response, oestrogen, enzymes that help in digestion and mineral absorption in the gut. In totality it also shows how sturdy or weak your body is and how long can it survive in supple manner. So basically almost all female body functions are checked just through bone density.
Hair luster - Your hair are subjected to harsh environment, strain and stress and above all to internal stress due to free radicals in the blood system or body. Losing its colour or luster or thickness or strand uniformity depends on how well your body protects itself from all the above hazards. Internal enironment is primary matter of concern if the hair are dull and dry. Hair are made of keratin - a protein, together with vitamin A and Vitamin B complex are vital for its supple condition. It so turns out that Vitamin A & B along with Vitamin C & E are also responsible to fight away the internal stress caused by the free radicals. All these vitamins are sourced from fresh coloured fruits, vegetables and oily fish or nuts. Wait I didnt say have ample of them because they are good sources of these vitamins. Have correct quantities of each for a better balance together. Yes the correct balance is achieved only by getting a customized diet from a correct proffesional trained to do so - A Dietitian.
Skin tone - Skin is a reflection to what lies beneath it. Skin tone speaks a lot more than just fair or blemished skin, it says what are you going through inside. The stress that we get involved into daily life has an impact on the skin. Dark spots, blemishes, acne, uneven complexion and even fine lines are a result of how much stress has been deeloped within due to free radicals and there by also causing hormonal imbalance. Again all Vitamins play a role in keeping the skin and its supple look intact.

Fresh and colourfull plate of fruits and vegies and of course water can go a long way in fighting all the stress that a woman is built to fight against. Not only does it protect from visible beauty tarnish but also helps protect from internal hazards like osteoporosis, diabetes, gynaecological problems, hormonal imbalance.

Wish you wellness.
