Healthy living is one of the most important aspects of a woman's life.  Women are often getting ensnared by other aspects of life, which they consider more important than good health.  They often think their life revolves around their job, as many women have been trained to believe that their job or career is of primary importance.  They thus make their working life a priority, and often sacrifice good health for their career or job. 

They lose sight of the fact that they can only continue to work successfully if they are in good health.  It is hard if not impossible to go to work when you are sick.  For one think, being sick or in not good health makes every little aspect of going to work just that much harder.  It is hard to get up on time when you are sick and feel horrible.  It takes longer to get ready in the morning when you are sick.  Just the physical pain makes it take longer to do the typical morning toilet and other tasks relating to make up and getting dressed.  Then, once you get to work, all the tasks that make up your job take longer, or are harder, or make you feel worse.  Working can be challenging enough without having to work through a cold or other type of illness.

In addition to your personal difficulties in working while sick, many workplaces are now asking workers not to come to work when they are sick, so as not to infect their coworkers.  In fact, some places reserve the right to make you go home if, in their opinion, you are too sick to be in their workplace.  So good health can be important to just having the right to show up and put in a day's work.  That alone highlights the

importance of good health for women.

 Women are also prone to putting their children ahead of their own good health.  They feel they need to take care of their children, even if they themselves are suffering the pain and consequences of ill health.  This is a noble feeling, and not to be disparaged.  However, it may be somewhat short-sighted.  If you, as the child or children's primary caregiver, are unable to fulfill your duties for a prolonged time, because you got sick in part due to your unwillingness to give yourself the kind of care you needed when you were first feeling ill, then you have perhaps made a poor bargain.  You may have traded a day or two away from your children, for a week or two away from your children when your condition worsens.

Staying in good health can also affect how long a woman lives.  If a woman takes good care of her health, practices good nutrition, gets sufficient exercise, and is of good genetic stock (which she, of course, has no control over), she can live a long time.  Even if her natural health is not the best, she can still prolong her life through preventative health measures, eating good, nutritious food, and getting plenty of exercise (from one-half to one hour per day, at least three days per week).

So as we can see, the first priority for women should be to stay in good health.  And women can best do this by eating fresh, nutritious food, seeing medical practitioners before problems with health develop, and taking enough exercise.
