¡En honor a la salud femenina!A los 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 o 70 o mas años,
“¡con buena salud, se luce bien a cualquier edad!”
Honoring Women’s Health! In her 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s.
“Healthy looks good at every age!”
May 2017 Health Note
1
During the month of May, in celebration of Mother’s Day and National Women’s Health Week from
May 14-20, women are honored for the love and dedication given to making each family member healthy!
For the many women who forget to put themselves first, the Chronic Disease Prevention Program asks you
to take a moment to inspire your mom, grandmother, sister and wife about good health.
This year, pay it forward by helping mom or that special woman
in your life make health her #1 priority. National Women’s Health
Week, is a good way to remind her to schedule a medical check-
up. According to the Centers for Disease Control, heart disease
continues to be the number one killer of American women. The
symptoms of having heart disease vary from person to person,
and is the reason regular check-ups are the best option.
A good plan can help prevent and control heart disease at
any age. Remind her that “healthy looks good at every age”,
whether she is in her 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, or 70’s! Regularly
including physical activity, eating healthy and getting medical
check-ups is a good plan for any age.
To support her, offer to:
Physical activity: Go on a 30 minute walk with her. Daily exercise will lower her risk of dying early by
27% compared to someone who only exercises once a week (Health, 2017).
Healthy eating: Prepare healthy meals that count! “Because every food and drink matters!” Plan meals
with a variety of veggies, fruit, whole grains and lean protein.
Medical check–ups: Go to the doctor with her and inspire dialogue about family history. Talk about your
health goals and allow her to share hers.
Once mom gets back on track with a meal and exercise plan she likes, she will begin to feel healthier and
“age will just be a number.”

Mayo 2017 Nota para Su Salud
2
Durante el mes de mayo, en celebración al Día de las Madres y durante la Semana Nacional de la
Salud Femenina del 14-20 de mayo, honoramos a todas las mujeres por el amor y dedicación dada al
cuidado y salud de toda la familia. Para todas mujeres que se olvidan de cuidar de sí mismas, el Programa
de Prevención de Enfermedades Crónicas, le pide tomar acción para inspirar a su mamá, abuela, hermana
y esposa, sobre lo importante que es estar la buena salud.
Este año, dele el regalo de la prioridad. Hágale sentir que su
salud es importante. La Semana Nacional de la Salud Femenina
es un buen momento para recordarle sobre su chequeo
médico. De acuerdo a Los Centros de Enfermedad y Control,
las enfermedades del corazón son el asesino número uno de
mujeres que viven en los Estados Unidos. Los síntomas de
enfermedades de corazón varían de persona a persona, y es
la razón que los chequeos regulares con el doctor son la mejor
opción.
Un buen plan le ayudará a prevenir y controlar las enfermedades
del corazón. Hágale saber que “¡con buena salud, se luce bien a
cualquier edad!” Ya sea que ella tenga 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 o 70 años o más... incluir ejercicio regularmente,
tener una buena alimentación y obtener chequeos regulares con su médico es el mejor plan a cualquier
edad.
Para darle apoyo, ofrézcale:
Actividad física: Salir a caminar por 30 minutos. El ejercicio todos los días reduce el riesgo de muerte prematura por 27% en comparación con alguien que solo hace ejercicio una vez por semana (Health, 2017).
Alimentación saludable: ¡Prepare comidas que cuenten y tengan un gran valor nutritivo! Porque cada alimento y bebida cuenta, planee platillos saludables con variedad de verduras, frutas, granos enteros y proteína baja en grasa.
Chequeos médicos: Acompañarla a su chequeo médico. Platique con ella sobre la historia de salud médica familiar. Comparta sus metas de salud y permita que ella comparta las de ella con usted.Cuando mamá aplique el plan de ejercicio y alimentación que le guste, ella comenzará a sentirse bien y su edad simplemente será un número.
