Are You Taking Care of Yourself?
By Jessica Reaves
We'd all like to take better care of ourselves, but that's easier said than done. With so many demands on our time -- work, family, relationships -- it's a challenge to schedule lunch, let alone a trip to the doctor. "Women today lead such hectic lives," says epidemiologist Gail Frank, a professor of nutrition at California State University, Long Beach. "That means that we often don't take time out for our health." Unfortunately, the more we push our needs aside, the more likely we are to encounter future problems; for example, neglect a minor cavity today and you could end up needing a root canal. How well are you taking care of your health? Take this quick quiz to find out -- and learn what you can do to help yourself live a long, healthy life.
