I think that woman's health is important and I think the number one concern with woman's health is CVD. Last semester I did a need assessment at TWU and we found that CVD is a serious risk for woman. CVD is something that is getting worse over the years because people in general are becoming more overweight. The good news is being over weight is something that we can control it just takes a lot of will.

I spoke with a 19 year old and she said that breast and cervical cancer are an issue. Another said osteoporosis was an issue with older woman. Because we are not taking care of ourselves when we are younger we are seeing osteoporosis. The last woman I spoke with said that heart disease was the main health issue with woman. We are not taking the time to eat the right foods and get the exercise we need on a daily bases.

Unfortunately they are all right! There isn’t just one health issue that affects woman, there are many. Im not trying to excuse are health issues, but I think that because women have to take care of the house and kids and everything else they don’t seem to find time to take care of there selves.
