Look After Yourself First - If you want to look after your families' health successfully, make sure you look after yours first

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF FIRST IF YOU WANT TO REALLY LOOK AFTER YOUR FAMILY

When it comes to looking after the health of their families, parents are always there with the thermometer, the hot water bottle and the doctor's telephone number. But when it comes to their own needs, mothers often say they have too little time.

Perhaps it's a fact of modern day living, but to look after your family, you have to remain fit and healthy yourself.

Most women will tell you that being healthy means both physical and emotional wellness and having a healthy family. (According to "Women Talk," the first annual national women's health survey from the National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC)).

In fact, the survey's findings strongly suggest that mothers place a greater priority on the health of their family than their own personal health. Men, whilst perhaps not so genetically attuned to the maternal instinct, will often work themselves to ill-health in order to provide for their families.

When asked what would most improve their own health, most women reported that having more time and less stress would help improve their health most.

And yet . . .

. . . having a healthy family took precedence over eating better, losing weight, exercising and sidestepping chronic disease.

Women are conditioned to take care of their families from the day they are born, but it's not possible to do so whilst ignoring the caretaker herself.

Women can set a good example by looking after their own health and wellbeing, as well as that of the family. Stress can be a relationship killer as well as a killer in the more literal sense. In fact, it is known that women cope with stress better than their male counterparts - one of the reasons for their longer average life spans. Part of the reason for this may also be that they are more likely to admit to stress and do something about it. For men, workplace stress can have extreme consequences. In Japan, for example, work stress related suicide rate among men has risen over the last 15 years. According to the US Government's Statistics Bureau, the highest suicide rate occurs in men from 35 to 44 years old, making it the 13th most common cause of death for men.

It's not hard to imagine the stress put upon the well-being of parents, with both suffering their respective admitted or hidden stresses and none of this can be good for the well-being of the family.

And with the busy Christmas period upon us, it's especially important for parents, and particularly mothers, to value themselves
