This year India celebrated its 66th republic day on 26th Jan
2015 and the entire program was telecasted on DD. Besides Barack Obama the
highlight of the program was the All-women contingent of the Indian armed
forces. I felt so proud to see The Army contingent being led by Captain Divya
Ajith, the Navy being led by Lieutenant Commander Sandhya Chauhan and the Air
Force contingent being led by Squadron Leader Sneha Shekhawat. The theme of the
66TH republic day was Women Empowerment and the courage and bravery shown by
our women was on display.
After watching the program several questions flooded my
mind. Imagine the amount of rigorous training that these women army officers
undergo or their diet or how do they handle themselves when they get their
periodic menstrual cycle.
As a woman have we ever kept a track of the number of
activities we do every day?? Yes we do a
lot of activities. Well, let me give an example: I am 23 years old pursuing MBA.
I am an early-riser and my day starts with my daily early morning exercises and
then getting ready for college. Travelling in crowded trains to get to college
has become a part of my life. After college I attend karate coaching classes. I
come back home eat my dinner and sit down to complete my daily assignments. My
mom is a 49 year old working woman and her day starts at 5.00 am every day,
which begins with exercises and then preparing tiffin for everyone. Her office
hours are 9-5 which extends beyond 5 on most of the days. On her way back home
she buys groceries, vegetables etc. Once home she sits down with my younger
sister to help her with her homework. My granny is 75 year old and she has played
a major role in bringing us up. Her days starts early morning with yoga and
morning prayers and then she moves on to preparing lunch. She spends her day
doing household chores and maintaining cleanliness, Oh Yes she is a cleanliness
freak!!!! She recently underwent knee replacement therapy but that did not stop
her from going for her daily evening walks.
It is not about me or my mom or my granny but this is
generally how a day is spent by all the women out there.In the current age, due
to extremely high expectations at social and personal level, a woman has to
play several roles in her life. This has
created several health related issues in an
active woman. The common ones are described below. A health supplement
for women should take care of most of these aspects.
Menstrual and Sexual Well being: The female body follows a
cyclical pattern during active menstrual years. Menstrual well being is closely
related with hormonal balance, good general
health, healthy reproductive organs and sexual well being. While
reproductive and sexual health means
having more vitality in life and producing offspring which remains mentally and
physically healthy.
