Women's Guide to Health - 30's

Women are fertile longer than they were in the past. This means the 30's are the prime time for women to have children. Many of the health concerns and issues revolve around this decision. If you are planning on having a child, check with your OB/GYN and ask about a prescription for folic acid. This supplement has been shown to reduce the risk of some birth defects.

If you've been lax about visiting the dentist, get back into regular checkups and cleanings. Tooth and gum health can affect other areas of the body. By keeping your mouth healthy, you'll keep your whole body healthy.
