Women’s Health

Staying healthy and well is one of the most important things women can do for themselves and for their loved ones, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some ways women can put their health first:

 

Stay Active

Regular exercise can help women boost their mood, maintain a healthy weight, and improve sleep. It also lowers risk for heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Women should speak with their doctor about what type of exercise is right for them.

Eat Healthy
Eating healthy can help women improve their health and prevent diseases. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, as well as lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Avoid having too much sodium, sugar, cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans fats.
Get Regular Checkups
Regular checkups and wellness exams help women increase their chances of living a longer, healthier life. Women should check with their primary care provider about the care and screenings they need, and whether they should schedule an in-person or telehealth appointment.

Follow Recommended Screenings

Maintain Healthy Levels
A well-rounded diet and regular exercise can help keep women’s blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar at healthy levels. Women should talk to their primary care provider or heart specialist about safely reducing their risk and setting goals for a healthier heart.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking or using tobacco products greatly increases women’s risk of heart disease. Women who want to quit should speak to their primary care provider for help and to see if there are medications or nicotine replacement products that are right for them. Non-smokers who have high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol also have a greater risk of developing heart disease when they’re exposed to secondhand smoke.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month. Taking care of teeth early helps children avoid problems like cavities and gum disease. Child Health Plus (CHPlus) from Fidelis Care provides dental care for kids, so they can have strong, healthy smiles. With CHPlus from Fidelis Care, children can get essential dental care at little or no cost to families based on income and household size.

Child Health Plus from Fidelis Care Dental Benefits

CHPlus from Fidelis Care provides a range of dental services for children under age 19. These services include:

Preventive Care: Regular checkups, cleanings, and treatments to prevent cavities and other dental issues.

The Importance of Early Dental Care

Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. Regular dental visits and proper oral hygiene can prevent many dental problems. The American Dental Association says that developing good dental health habits early helps children get a jump start on a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

Tips for Maintaining Your Child's Oral Health

  • Start early: Begin cleaning your child's teeth as soon as they appear.
  • Regular dental visits: Schedule checkups every six months.
  • Healthy diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks.
  • Proper brushing: Teach your child to brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Flossing: Encourage daily flossing to remove plaque between teeth.
