I can't stress enough how important it is to get mammograms, annual paps, and your calcium levels checked. Your daily calcium intake should range from 1,000mg-1,500mg remember your age and weight always plays a factor in dosage, also monthly cleansing of your colon is really important. For those of you that don't really know what your colon is here is the definition:the section of the large intestines that extends from the cecum to the rectum. It is important to cleanse your colon because bacteria can build up and cause major problems including rectal colon cancer. Colon cancer is rarely discussed, but due to the recent lost of an celebrity icon "Farrah Fawcett" it has made national spotlight and has caught my attention as well

I know I don't eat or drink enough to have the required daily intake of fiber and water to make the digestive system function correctly as most of us don't have the time, knowledge, or interest to make our bodies healthy and we are putting ourselves at risk for this deadly silent killer. It is recommended that your daily fiber intake is anywhere from 25mg-45mg depending on age and weight. As I mentioned before your daily water intake is important and should be 2 liters or eight 8oz. glasses . As women our bodies are put through a lot mentally, physically, and emotionally every month so it's important that we stay on top of our health and exercises

daily nothing major, but every bit counts. Ladies, when my car broke down back in March it was a blessing in disguise because me and the children have been walking more every since and let me tell you what a difference it has made in my life to walk daily! Although I wasn't lifting weights,doing Yoga, or using stripper poles I felt good. In the morning between 5am-8am the air quality is so clean and fresh, so getting out to smell the trees, flowers, and grass is a great way to start the day or 5:30pm-8:00pm usually after a busy day at work or after you eat is also a good time to get out and walk to clear your mind, help your digestive system move along, and remember that life can be beautiful in the mist of our hectic and busy schedules. A short walk a day by yourself or with family is just enough to get your juices flowing and you won't believe how

starting little by little will motivate you, some people get discouraged because they want to jump all in, but that is an unrealistic starting point because your will can be easily broken, but if you set a mind set that 30 minutes a day of any kind of exercise is good and do it all at your own pace. Like I tell my boys who are 7 and 4 when we're practicing math, reading, and writing it's not a competition this is to benefit you , so if you rush your only cheating yourself !
