Women urged to increase exercise and avoid chronic illness

Women urged to increase exercise and avoid chronic illness

To mark International Women’s Day on Friday 8 March, the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) is urging Australian women to place higher priority on their physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Too often women put their own needs on hold as they juggle family responsibilities - including caring for children and elderly parents - work responsibilities and social commitments. A recent health report has found that less than half of women aged 18–64 exercised at the recommended level of at least 150 minutes over five or more sessions each week. Regular physical activity is an important contributor to good health; it promotes healthy weight maintenance, reduces the risk of chronic disease and improves mental function and general feelings of wellbeing.

Cath Willis, chair of the APA Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health group, says that physical activity is an incredibly powerful tool for optimising whole body health in the long term and should be seen as an investment into women’s future health and wellbeing.




“Exercise is a critical component of disease prevention, but chronic conditions such as being overweight or obese, incontinence or leakage, endometriosis, low back pain and mental health issues may be a barrier.”

“A well-trained women’s health physiotherapist can help women manage these concerns and barriers to exercise and provide guidance on the right type of exercise for individual circumstances.”

Australian women are more likely than men to suffer from depression, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, arthritis and dementia, all of which have been linked to sedentary behaviours. With increasing age, women are also more likely to experience multiple chronic conditions simultaneously; 87 per cent of women over 65 currently live with at least one chronic disease.

Ms. Willis said that while physiotherapy can play a critical role in treating, motivating and giving confidence to women to be more active through various forms of sport and exercise, many women were simply not aware how it could help with their concerns.

“Physiotherapy helps keep women moving when they are in pain or lack confidence in their bodies, and this has enormous flow-on effects to their quality of life, both physical and emotional. I want women to know that urinary incontinence in particular should not be seen as normal, and that physio can make a big difference to how you feel and therefore how active you can be.”

Women’s Health Begins with Balanced Hormones.

Women’s Health Begins with Balanced Hormones.

 

Revolutionary, all natural Fem21 herbal formula has been developed specifically to support overall women’s health, wellbeing and vitality.

www.Fem21.com.au

Gold Coast mum and naturopathic physician Meah Robertson BHSc. (Nat) has been specialising in women’s health and integrative natural medicine in a clinical practice for over 13 years. 

Fem21 was created after noticing that most of her female patients had similar underlying issues related to unhealthy hormones. Combining 21 carefully selected and tested key ingredients into one easy to take formula designed to assist in:

• Hormonal Balancing
• Liver & Digestion Cleansing
• Alkalising

“Growing up I experienced many hormonal issues associated with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) such as hormonal acne, irregular cycles, excessive hair growth, plus I had intolerance to the oral contraceptive pill.  After studying a Bachelor of Health Science in Naturopathy and consulting in my clinical practice I learnt a lot about women’s health and hormones and how to support naturally with natural medicine. I found many women had issues similar to myself and it was very common to have imbalances hormonally, statistically up to 80% of women identify with having a hormonal issue at some time in their life.  I was inspired to help more women outside of my clinical practice to regain balance with their hormones and improve overall health.  I was certainly empowered by my own issues and started the journey to make a difference so I formulated Fem21.  Fem21 is the only product on the market that fully supports women’s health and hormone balance holistically, incorporating herbal medicine to also improve liver & gut health, alkalise, balance the adrenals and improve the stress response.” – Meah Robertson BHSc (Nat), Fem21, Lifestart Naturopathics.

Hormone Balancing

Fem21 gives comprehensive support for women’s health. The powerful natural formula works to balance hormones, cleanse the body and reduce stress. Chemicals from plastics, pollution in the environment, cosmetics, processed foods, medications and poor quality water can disrupt the endocrine system, which is responsible for maintaining balanced hormones. Chemicals, toxins and synthetic hormones need to be cleansed from the body so we can feel and function at our best. Fem21 supports healthy functioning ovaries to produce Estrogens and Progesterone in balance, these are the main hormones that affect women throughout our lives. Balanced hormones ensure easy periods, good fertility, healthy pregnancies and a smooth transition through menopause. The Fem21 formula contains herbs for balancing adrenal hormones, which support good energy levels and our stress response. If stress levels are high and adrenal function is poor then Progesterone levels can be affected. This imbalance of low Progesterone to high Estrogens can cause a lot of issues for women. Included in the Fem21 formula are herbs for thyroid hormone balance, as optimal thyroid health plays a big part in producing hormones as well as overall cellular metabolism. We can experience many symptoms, and medical conditions if our hormones are out of balance. Hormone balance influences how we feel physically and emotionally everyday.

Signs of imbalanced hormones:

• Pre-menstrual issues (PMS/PMT/PMDD)
• Irregular cycles (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome)
• Endometriosis Symptoms (ie. Period pain)
• Fertility issues
• Acne/hormonal breakouts
• Weight issues
• Libido issues
• Menopausal issues

Liver and Digestive Cleansing

Containing herbs, probiotics and fibre to work together to cleanse the body of toxins and chemicals, reducing inflammation and soaking up excess hormonal metabolites; these are filtered by the liver and dumped into the bowel. The GIT (Gastro-Intestinal tract) is the key to nutrient absorption and clearance of waste. Probiotics and the internal environment in out GIT influence our immune system along with regulation of inflammation. Our liver and bowels are the body’s most efficient detoxification channel. Effective detoxification at a cellular level, is extremely important for overall health and hormone balance.

Signs of unhealthy liver and GIT:

• Bloating
• Gas/flatulence
• Stomach pain
• Constipation
• Loose bowels
• Nausea
• Irregular bowels and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
• Dysbiosis (overgrowth of bad bacteria)

Alkalising Greens

The acid/alkaline balance of our body greatly influences our health, the ageing process and how efficiently we function. When our body is acidic and inflamed, the pathways to making and metabolising hormones are significantly affected. It is very difficult to create hormone balance in an acidic body. Under the same umbrella of acidity we see oxidative stress (cellular rusting), free radical production and inflammation. Fem21’s blend of rich greens, superfoods, herbs and antioxidants supports your body to balance acid/alkaline levels for optimum health and happiness.

Signs of unhealthy alkaline balance:

• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Fluid retention
• Sensitive skin
• Joint pain
• Immune issues
• Inflammation
• Oxidative stress
