A head-to-toe guide to improving a woman’s health

Abdomen
If monthly abdominal cramps keep you from functioning at your best, consider drinking a glass of milk before taking your favorite over-the-counter painkiller. Premenopausal women need 1,000 mg of bone-protecting calcium daily (1,200 mg if you’re past menopause). Calcium supplements or three servings of low-fat dairy should do the trick.

Uterus
Loading up on produce instead of meat at the market may slash your risk of endometriosis-the painful migration of uterine lining into your abdomen and a major cause of infertility. Eating red meat daily and ham three times or more weekly upped risk by 80 per cent and 100 per cent respectively, compared with eating none.
