Putting Women's Health on Top of the To-Do List

Symmetry Honors National Women's Health Care Month with Wellness Tips
MILPITAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
The American Medical Association reports that females typically put the health
care of her spouse and children ahead of their own well-being. This May, in
honor of National Women's Health Care Month, Symmetry is encouraging women to
rethink their approach.

"Women need to realize that their health is their single best asset," said Rudy
Revak, president and chief executive officer for Symmetry Corporation. "When
stress and other ailments cause women to neglect their bodies, energy, mood, and
overall health fall to the wayside as a result."

Revak says women can experience significant advances in their well-being by
taking the following action steps:

* Eat a rainbow - Rich, colorful foods such as berries and green leafy
vegetables are rich in antioxidants and other vitamins and nutrients, which all
play a role in staving off disease. For women who have trouble squeezing in the
recommended five to nine servings of fruit and vegetables a day, Revak suggests
incorporating supplements that feature extracts of whole foods.
* Go fish - Fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring are high in
Omega-3s, essential fatty acids that have been shown to reduce the risk of heart
disease. Women should aim for two three-oz. servings of fish a week. However,
those who aren't fond of seafood may prefer to take a high-quality Omega-3
supplement, typically available in pill form.
* Get moving - Although typically associated with weight loss, regular physical
activity can strengthen the immune system and reduce the occurrence of diseases
that affect the bones and joints. Even moderate movement, such as brisk walking,
can produce positive results. Women should aim for 30 minutes of activity a day.

* Stay strong with calcium - Weight-bearing exercise can help improve bone
density, but aging women can take additional measures against osteoporosis by
monitoring their calcium intake. In addition, calcium has been shown to support
colon health, reduce tension and even moderate the symptoms of PMS. When
choosing a calcium supplement, women should look for varieties that include
Magnesium and Vitamin D.
