30. Don’t drink like a man
Even if you can, you shouldn’t – women who go drink-for-drink with their male counterparts are at greater risk of dementia, alcohol-related cancers (like breast) and heart issues, according to the American Heart Association (AHA).
The group recommends women stick to one drink per day maximum (men can have two).
31. Your pregnancy history still matters
If you have a history of miscarriages or you developed diabetes or high blood pressure during pregnancy you may be at an increased risk of heart disease later in life.
“Your cardiac risks are based on your whole life,” Dr. Steinbaum says.
32. You are more prone to anxiety
Unfortunately, anxiety and anxiety disorders continue to pester women as they age – they’re among the higher risk groups, according to a study in Brain and Behaviour.
Discuss your feelings with your doctor – and make an appointment with a mental healthcare professional if necessary.
