Mother’s Day is the kickoff to National Women’s Health Week each year. The initiative encourages women and girls to make their health a priority. The CDC has found that women make up two out of three caregivers in the United States. This means women who are caregivers provide daily or regular support to children, adults, or those with chronic illnesses or disabilities.

It is essential to schedule regular check-ups. Writing down any questions you may have and taking them to your appointments can help you have a guided conversation with your doctor. Lastly, find out when you need to schedule screenings and exams.
2. Have a Balanced, Healthy Diet
Create a healthy eating plan that includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fat-free/low-fat dairy products, lean proteins, and limited sodium. Folic acid is essential for women’s health and is needed daily. Folic acid promotes healthy new cells and prevents significant birth defects. Limiting alcohol can prevent the development of chronic disease. Drink alcohol in moderation. For women, this is one drink a day.
3. Move Your Body
We should shoot for 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week. Physical activity lowers the risk of heart disease.

Gardeners tips would like to pay tribute to the nation’s trees, past and present and all those that use or care for them. The time to pay this tribute must be during National Tree Week which runs from 24th November to 2nd December 2018.
In 2016 the National Garden scheme donated £2.7 million to a range of cancer and other charities. This furthers the charitable objectives of the society ‘supporting charities, in their work in the provision of nursing and caring, and
Lets get to the root of the problem, we seldom get to see roots in action but they are crucial to most plants and trees.

March is typically filled with just about everything green, from St. Patrick’s Day to a great time to start planting your spring leafy vegetables. March 26th is National Spinach Day and is also one of my favorite leafy greens. Spinach can help compliment any meal whether stewed, tossed with other vegetables or blended into a smoothie. Spinach is naturally fat-free, cholesterol free and high in dietary fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, and folate. For more information on folate, see HGIC 4068, Folate.
The Cranberry is one of only three native North American fruits that was an important source of food long before the Pilgrims arrived. Native Americans, who referred to cranberries as sassamanash, recognized their healthy giving properties.
