As a woman, do you know the important parts of the body related to health? Professor Hu Weiqun summarized the 10 parts that are crucial to women's health and drew a "body health map" that needs special protection. By focusing on these ten key areas, you can maintain a healthy body.

The most common areas of osteoporosis are the hips and wrists. Women must pay attention to the moderate intake of calcium-rich foods, because it can not only prevent osteoporosis, but also relieve stress.

Approximately 250,000 women worldwide die from uterine cancer each year. Scientists have found that women who take birth control pills for more than five years have a three-fold increased risk of uterine cancer, and those who take birth control pills for more than 10 years have a four-fold increased risk.

Staying in a confined space for a long time with restricted movements will lead to poor blood circulation and increased blood viscosity, causing blood clots to form in the deep veins of the legs. If the blood clots flow through the blood to the lungs or brain, they will cause pulmonary embolism or cerebral stroke, and even death. It is best for women to stand up and walk around or do some leg exercises after working for a period of time.

Women must not wear high heels, especially stiletto heels. Women who wear high heels have twice the risk of knee arthritis as men and also increase the risk of spraining their ankles.

If a woman dyes her hair more than 12 times a year, her chance of developing lymphoma is 26% higher than that of a woman who never dyes her hair. Scientists have shown that women who have started dyeing their hair since 1980 have a 37% higher chance of developing lymphoma. The reason for this high risk is that the previous hair dyes contained too many carcinogens. "Dark-colored hair dyes are more likely to cause cancer in women," scientists said.

As modern women frequently use computers, scientists have found that the number of women suffering from glaucoma is increasing year by year. When using a computer, people's eyes are staring at the screen for a long time, which may cause glaucoma. In addition, smoking in women can also induce glaucoma.

Exercising for half an hour at least three times a week is beneficial to improving the human immune system and strengthening women's respiratory tract to fight against various bacterial invasions.

In hot weather, women should pay special attention to protecting their skin, because long-term exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer. Women must know how to fully use sunscreen and other items to protect their skin.

Having children can reduce a woman's risk of breast cancer. British cancer research experts believe that when a woman gives birth to her first child, it means that her chances of developing breast cancer are reduced by 7%. Breastfeeding not only helps babies grow healthily, but also reduces women's risk of breast cancer by 4.3%.

If a woman loses or gains 10 pounds in a year, her heart health will be significantly damaged, hindering blood circulation to the heart. Therefore, for the sake of heart health, women must not be too strict about losing weight.
