I urge women to take a good look at their lifestyles and see if they can fit a little exercise into their busy lives. Get a partner and walk a few miles a week. Take the stairs instead of an elevator. Park the car as far away from the store as you can.
And maybe, instead of preparing feasts with several different dishes and courses, they might try to make some dishes that are healthful. Vegetables instead of kugels, or fruit instead of cakes for dessert. Meat dishes do not have to be soaked in gravy. You can substitue margarine with oil and apple sauce.
Heart disease is a silent killer and a very real threat to women’s health.
Jewish women – please take care of *yourselves* for a change. For the sake of your families and the wonderful homes you’ve built with so much love.
