Follow female medical professionals who discuss women’s health. There is a lot to know as a baseline and a lot of new knowledge.
Most of what your Mom learnt is slightly outdated and we have waaaaay better knowledge of women’s health than 30-50 years ago.
I like focusing on women who talk about perimenopause and menopause as they typically view women through their whole life cycle, and don’t just focus on 20yo women who we see a smaller men with reproductive parts.
Think: pelvic floor physiotherapists, specialists of women’s health, obgyn, real MDs (not just functional “doctors” with full medical training).
Find types of physical activities that you enjoy and build a disciplined routine to incorporate them. Don’t make excuses to put it off or not do it. If you don’t have your health your quality of life will tank when you’re older.
Do some sort of exercise 30-60 mins 5 days a week. Eat better food/cook at home more. Meal prep doesn’t have to be boring if that’s easier than cooking everyday. You can follow the portion sizes on the junk food bags, only if you know you won’t binge eat. Imo, the portion sizes are too small, so I avoid them.
Get a hobby that will simulate your mind and creativity. Most advice from older women may not be relevant since it’s not the 70s anymore. Please don’t take advice from social media. Do your own research and go to a doctor.
I would suggest staying away from men around that age, if you want to seriously date. Imo, most are still teenagers in the head and not worth it.
Floss regularly, start strength/resistance training to build some muscle, learn about macros/nutrition and make sure to get enough protein, strive for good quality sleep, get a basic skin care routine down, cut out alcohol/drugs, keep up with regular health screens/checkups.
that you should absolutely not be scared of exercise or weightloss tools in the house like a scale because the whole point is to build a healthy relationship with food
It also took me until my 30s to really wear the proper clothes for the proper weather. Now I never ever forget a scarf or wear sth because it’s cute but not seasonally appropriate. Way less sicknesses.

Drink less alcohol. That shit ages you.

Start exercising so by your 30’s it isn’t so hard to build that habit.
If anyone in this day and age still smokes or even vapes, for the love of all that is holy, STOP.
Sunscreen. No matter what your natural skin tone or ethnicity. Preferably SPF50. SPF30 acceptable.
Don’t skimp on oral health, and FLOSS after every meal.
Chill out on the intense cardio / hiit workouts and focus more on weight lifting. They are ruining your hormones. Also get off hormonal birth control.
Prioritize bone health. Get your calcium, protein, and lift/do resistance training.
Floss regularly, start strength/resistance training to build some muscle, learn about macros/nutrition and make sure to get enough protein, strive for good quality sleep, get a basic skin care routine down, cut out alcohol/drugs, keep up with regular health screens/checkups.

If you do drink alcohol, drink a glass of water for every drink.
