When we use the term wellbeing, our minds tend to picture a person with a sound body and mind. However, in the world that surrounds us, we hardly get to see a perfect example. This is mostly because we tend to focus on one thing and completely forget about the other. You might be going to the gym everyday but you are not in a good psychological state due to something that might have been happening in your life. This makes you lose the title of good health and wellbeing.
Here are some of the most common medical problems that you can find in women all over the world.
Thyroid Disease
According to Dr. Nieca Goldberg, Director of the joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health at New York University’s Langone Medical Center,
Women are seven times more likely to develop thyroid issues than men
The worst part about thyroid disease is that the condition of this disease has great similarity to those of certain other minor diseases. This is why people often rule out the possibility of having conceived Thyroid disease. These conditions include weight gain, weight loss or fatigue etc. which can very easily be attributed to something else.

Starving yourself is the last thing you would want to do in order to lose weight. Smoking is also a major cause of thyroid disease. Keeping away from them will lessen your chances of contraction.
Alzheimer’s Diseases
No disease is pretty! Certainly not Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, the chances of women being a victim are double as compared to that of men. There are a lot of symptoms that can lead you to the disease, like memory impairment, poor judgment decision, and difficulty concentrating on stuff etc. Doctors perform vigorous tests before concluding that a person suffers from Alzheimer’s.

There are (also) women, who, for many years, are really ill with heart disease -being out of breath, not being able to walk up one flight of stairs… because heart disease impairs their ability to get around.
One of the major reasons so many women fall prey to heart diseases is that they are most likely to remain underdiagnosed in the matter. The worst part is that in most cases, women get diagnosed with a heart disease when it already too late to take a preventive measure. This elevates the importance of taking preventive measures prior to contracting any potential illness.
Prevention
One of the key substances that lead to heart diseases is tobacco. The trend of smoking cigarettes has been growing with time, making more women prone to heart diseases. Apart from quitting smoking, an intake of healthy diet and focus on cardiovascular exercises can reduce the risk of contracting heart diseases.
