Pregnancy

Smoking is the single most preventable cause of death in the United States. If you're a woman who smokes, your risks of developing heart disease and cancer go way, way up, especially if you use oral contraceptives. Watch out for second-hand smoke, too. Constant exposure to tobacco smoke at work or at home also increases your risks.

Curb the cholesterol
High blood cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and indirectly increases your risk of stroke. By virtue of being a woman, starting at age 55 your cholesterol is bound to be higher than men's. Try to maintain a low-fat diet, and when you do use oil, make it olive.

Watch your weight
It's a matter of health, not vanity. Women have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure if they are 20 pounds or more above their recommended weight. What's more, if you have too much fat, particularly around the waist area, you are at a higher risk for a number of additional health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Avoid overloading on carbohydrates, sweets, and fatty foods.

Avoid eating fats.
Diets high in fat have been linked to increased risk of various cancers. Studies of populations in countries consuming high-fat diets have consistently shown higher incidence and mortality rates for breast and colon cancer. Dietary recommendations are to decrease total fat intake to 30 per cent of calories. Major sources of fat in the Indian diet are butter or ghee , cooking oils or butter, and salad oils, as well as the fat in meats and whole milk dairy products. If you must use oil, make it olive.
