May 12th - 18th is National Women's Health Week, a week dedicated to encouraging girls and adult women to prioritize their health. This year's theme is "Empowering Women, Cultivating Health: Celebrating Voices, Wellness, and Resilience." "This year’s theme is dedicated to empowering women to take charge of their health journeys and shining a light on health issues unique to women. We’re celebrating the strength and determination of women who have taken control of their health and fostering an environment where all women feel supported and empowered to speak up about their health needs and concerns." - The Office on Women's Health, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. According to the Centers for Disease Control @cdcgov, there are several ways to improve mental and physical health. 🔸️Schedule a yearly well-woman exam. 🔸️Get active. 🔸️Eat a healthy and balanced diet. 🔸️Prioritize mental health by having strategies to cope with stress. 🔸️Incorporate healthy behaviors. Every little bit counts. These strategies are especially important for women and AFAB individuals experiencing PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation). "As we celebrate Women’s Health Week, I want to remind every woman to embrace the power within her. This week is not just about awareness—it's about action. Commit to prioritizing your health, self-care, and well-being every day. Let's uplift each other, recognize our unique strengths, and continue to break barriers. Together, we can create a future where every woman thrives." - Sandi MacDonald, Co-Founder and Executive Director Check out womenshealth.gov/nwhw to learn more about Women's Health Week. 💙 #women #womenshealth #afabindividuals #takecareofyou #womenshealthawarenessweek #women #pmdd #pme #pms #mycycle #myperiod #pmddawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #prevention #care #empowerment #wellbeing #powerwithin #uplifteachother
