Why do women ignore their own health?

women's health matters

Today’s woman of India might be overly worried about the health of her child and the well-being of her family, but she barely finds time to take care of herself. Most women don’t even understand the importance of regular checkups or visiting a medical practitioner for lifestyle advice.

The recently released GOQii India fit report 2018 (Indiafit.org) indicates that men seem to be better at leading a healthier lifestyle than women. They have greater step counts and more water. They have fewer illnesses and digestive disorders than women. While women are conscious about being healthy, they more often than not, neglect their own. It is increasingly being seen that women are more prone to being anaemic due to iron deficiency.

However, all is not dark. There is light at the end of the tunnel. We are seeing some positive changes with several women now taking charge of their health or wanting to do it as soon as possible. They are getting conscious of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  When it comes to adapting to a healthy lifestyle, the first thing that women are concerned about is reducing their bulge. This is further confirmed in the India Fit report’18 which reveals that 78% Indian women consider weight management as one of the key focus areas whereas 61% focus on getting fit and active. According to the report, awareness about women health has become an important issue in the Indian society.

GOQii as a company is striving hard to get one and all to change their current habits and imbibe newer habits to lead a healthy and fulfilling disease-free life in the future. On this International Woman’s Day, the company’s focus for the month of March is on Women’s health. As part of its ‘Active Sunday’ program, the company has lined up a series of talks by inspiring men and women on March 11th across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Pune, Kolkata and Hyderabad. REGISTER NOW

These inspiring men and women will take the attendees through their personal journey while they lay emphasis on woman’s health and its importance.
