做一个健康的女人

红娘子

大家别忘了一年一度的女子体检，三十以上就应该做一次mamagram.每年都要做Pap Smear. 真的很有用的。百分之十五以上的女人会检查出Cervical Abnormal Cell Growth. 不去掉的话很可能至癌。千万别做梅艳芳阿。

好像要40以上保险才给报mamogram.

我的妇科医生更够呛，我一年看她一次，从来没看成过。 去年是要提前几个月订appointment, 到时候我准时去了，她vacation 去了，忘了通知。 做了几年她的病人， 只知道她是asian, 还不知道她长啥样子。

干吗不换医生？

是想换啊，不过需要是女性， 距离不太远， 我的保险network 里又available 的医生。  我也没有PCP, 因为还没碰上过好的。 这里的医生都挺牛的。

应该是三十到四十之间有一次base mamagram.
你的医疗保险太糟了，真的改换了。我也换过，这一个我跟了十年了。

英国是4-5年才查一次，公费的。我前不久miss了一次查乳腺癌的（因为工作忙，给的时间我去不了）。她们说，you will not be called for another five years。

Is this how the universal health insurance works? It is terrible!

People over 40 can have a mamagram every 2 years in America.
Still, it is only about $60, just pay it out of your pocket. Your health is worth so much more than $60.

这边也可以自费，不知道 charge 多少。肯定比60美金多。是啊，应该自己爱惜自己才对。

我是每年都去看一次妇科和内科的医生。尽管她们都说我是最boring的‘病人’五分钟就查完了。但每年她们都说我下一年还得去。我常常是开了mamogram方子忘了去查。因为预约的时间老是不好。

Good for you, keep it up.
It is good to have a peace of mind.

In the meantime, there are some very specific things women can do to reduce their risk, and the risk to
their children:
· Avoid using pesticides on lawns and gardens or in the home.
· Use non-toxic cleaning products.
· Store food in glass or lead-free ceramic containers.
· Never microwave food in plastic containers or wrap.
· Avoid consumption of dairy, poultry and meat products containing hormones or other growth
stimulants.
· Eat organic fruits and vegetables (grown without pesticides).
· Avoid all non-essential medical and dental x-rays.
· Avoid prolonged use of oral contraceptives and estrogen replacement therapy.

Nuts are a source of healthy fats but they won't make you fat. They have a tremendous satiety value, and can take the edge off the most wicked hunger pangs. Try these ideas.


Almonds in particular are rich in potassium and are packed with fiber and protein. Spread a couple tablespoons of almond butter on some whole wheat toast for a healthy afternoon snack. Top with honey or sugar-free jam.
Toss some walnuts in your lunch salad (along with protein such as chicken or salmon).
Mix a tablespoon of peanut butter into your morning oatmeal.
Pair mixed nuts with a fruit for an easy on-the-go snack.
Add a heaping tbsp of peanut butter to a smoothie made with skim milk and a banana for a post-workout snack.

People shy away from avocados because of their fat content. However, they contain "good" fat (the kind your body needs to burn its stored fat). Avocados are also a good source of potassium and contain vitamins C, E and B6.
