National Women's Health Week

National Women's Health Week is an observance led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health...whew, that's a mouthful. But, also an important issue to be an advocate!

May 10 - 16, 2015 is set aside for women to recognize, acknowledge, and commit to healthy living.

You can get on board with healthy living at any age...let's go ahead and get started now (or keep it up)!!

The tips offered on the website for National Women's Health Week are easy and perfect for all women and girls:

•  Have regular checkups with a medical professional
• Get active
• Eat healthy
• Get enough sleep and manage stress
• Avoid unhealthy behaviors like smoking, texting while driving and not wearing a seatbelt or bike helmet.

Pledge to be healthy and encourage all the girls and women you know to do the same!

Now, connect healthy living and Girl Scouts...

All the Journeys have tips for healthy living, whether it be a recipe for a healthy snack or a Healthy Living Family Activity for Girl Scout Brownies and their families. Take a look through YOUR Journey Book and see what you can find.
Plus Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies and Juniors can do the Healthy Habits Journey Booklet !
