Women bear a disproportionate amount of domestic work load, which is not just the mental part. How is this uneven physical burden impacting women’s health?

As homemakers or those pursuing a career outside the home, women have to bear a greater load of domestic chores as well as the added responsibility of organising and keeping the household running. This takes a toll on their physical and mental well-being. They are stressed out and emotionally drained. Women as quite literally bone-tired. And especially during the pandemic lockdown, women have faced the severest brunt and suffered greatly.

What are the causes leading to increased Orthopaedic problems, and your advice to people?

Faulty lifestyle led by most people is the main culprit aggravating orthopaedic related issues. Sedentary lifestyle and intake of junk food or eating food having poor nutritional value contribute to arthritis problems. One should lead an active lifestyle that includes an exercise routine but avoid overdoing them if there is any discomfiture as it could lead to injury or other problems. Consult a doctor if the condition persists. 

How can women take better care of their health? Are supplements a necessity?

Women in India generally don’t prioritize their health and nutrition. They need to include food that builds bone health in their diet such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables and
Vitamin D by exposing themselves briefly to the warmth of the Sun, every day. I therefore recommend them to opt for a holistic health supplement which can take care of their daily
nutritional need. Revital H Woman is a very good option which provides holistic nutrition.
