She knows that early detection of reproductive problems can lead to cures and safeguard her from infertility.

Because cleanliness is one of her watchwords, a lady is always careful to properly wrap and dispose of feminine products during her menstrual period. She never leaves them in an open waste basket or in someone’s home

A lady knows the risk that smoking and drinking alcohol has on her health and weighs the risks and harmful effects before deciding to take up such habits.

She is proactive by making an appointment with her doctor if she notices an unexplained change. She knows that an early diagnosis of breast cancer can save her life as she faces the challenge of keeping herself well with a healthy body.

A lady knows that rest and exercise are good for her health. She takes time off her busy schedule to rest; she also visits the gym or joins a fitness club where she goes regularly for exercise.
