Let's face it, ladies: Doctor visits are short. And they're getting
shorter. What if your doctor had more time? She might tell you the same
things that OB-GYN Alyssa Dweck, MD, co-author of
V Is for Vagina, wants you to know.
Consider Dweck's tips your prescription for a lifetime of wellness.
1. Zap your stress.
"The biggest issue I see in most of my patients is that they have too much on their plates and want to juggle it all. Stress can have significant health consequences, from infertility to higher risks of depression, anxiety, and heart disease
. Find the stress-reduction method that works for you and stick with it."
2. Stop dieting.
"Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to forgo your favorite
glass of wine or a piece of chocolate cake now and then. The key is
moderation. Get a mix of lean proteins, healthy fats, smart carbs, and
fiber."
