May is Women’s Health Month. Finally, it’s time to focus on you and your health. While you stop to smell
the freshly-bloomed flowers (provided Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods), take some time to
breathe and be in the moment. This is the perfect time of year to indulge in just being, instead of doing.
If you’re like me, your calendar is fully loaded with an abundance of activities. Some of them fun. Others
not so much fun, but necessary. Taking some time to focus on your health might seem like a pipe
dream. What with work commitments, your child’s activities schedule, and the countless other things
you're required to be present for, taking time for yourself seems impossible. This month, we’re here to
help you carve out some time to reconnect with what makes you tick, free your mind from worries (if
only temporary), and to help get your health goals back on track. There’s nothing more satisfying than
purging your daily woes and rejuvenating your soul with quiet reflection, exercise, meditation, or a clean
bill of health from your doctor. No matter which route you choose to pursue, know that we here at
Healthy magazine are here to answer your questions, guide you to a path to a better you, and help ease
your transition from harried mom or corporate juggernaut to someone who cares enough about herself
to treat her mind and body well.
Inside you’ll find the kind of heart-warming, information-packed articles you’ve grown used to alongside
tips and tricks to help you feel and look better and to keep the beautiful machine that is your body in tip-
top shape. You’ll discover the hidden secrets about women’s health issues, including what you need to
know about colon cancer and how to prevent it to articles about the gender gap in eating disorders, the
signs and symptoms of depression, and so much more.
We’re so happy Spring has finally begun to make an appearance, and we’re even more excited to help you
live a happier, healthier life. Here’s to you, dear readers. We wish you love and wellness, and as always,
the best of health. Happy Women’s Health Month!
