We all know the familiar saying, If you don't take care of yourself, then you can't take care of others.
We know it's true: our health should be our top priority. Yet as women trying to keep up in a high-speed, high-expectation society, we continually put other things before our own well-being - family members, stressful jobs, household chores, other commitments.
Helping women get and stay healthy is a key priority for the Governor's Commission for Women. From breast cancer to heart disease to sedentary lifestyle, the Commission is working to help provide Texas women with the information and tools they need to fight such health predators, stay strong and know when to put themselves first.
You can help yourself, too:
- Get informed - Know your risk factors for conditions and diseases like obesity, heart disease and cancer, and understand what you can do to lower them.
- Get involved - Commit to making lifestyle changes that will lower your risk factors, gather the support you need, and just do it. But remember, if you try to do everything at once, you're bound to be frustrated by failure; for long-lasting success, put changes into practice over time.
- Give - Contribute your time, energy, goods/services or money to organizations that are working to safeguard women's health.
