May is Women ’ s Health Month . Finally , it ’ s time to focus on you and your health . While you stop to smell the freshly-bloomed flowers ( provided Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods ), take some time to breathe and be in the moment . This is the perfect time of year to indulge in just being , instead of doing .
If you ’ re like me , your calendar is fully loaded with an abundance of activities . Some of them fun . Others not so much fun , but necessary . Taking some time to focus on your health might seem like a pipe dream . What with work commitments , your child ’ s activities schedule , and the countless other things you ' re required to be present for , taking time for yourself seems impossible . This month , we ’ re here to help you carve out some time to reconnect with what makes you tick , free your mind from worries ( if only temporary ), and to help get your health goals back on track . There ’ s nothing more satisfying than purging your daily woes and rejuvenating your soul with quiet reflection , exercise , meditation , or a clean bill of health from your doctor . No matter which route you choose to pursue , know that we here at Healthy magazine are here to answer your questions , guide you to a path to a better you , and help ease your transition from harried mom or corporate juggernaut to someone who cares enough about herself to treat her mind and body well .
Inside you ’ ll find the kind of heart-warming , information-packed articles you ’ ve grown used to alongside tips and tricks to help you feel and look better and to keep the beautiful machine that is your body in tiptop shape . You ’ ll discover the hidden secrets about women ’ s health issues , including what you need to know about colon cancer and how to prevent it to articles about the gender gap in eating disorders , the signs and symptoms of depression , and so much more .
We ’ re so happy Spring has finally begun to make an appearance , and we ’ re even more excited to help you live a happier , healthier life . Here ’ s to you , dear readers . We wish you love and wellness , and as always , the best of health . Happy Women ’ s Health Month !
