According to some experts, medicinal value of garlic lessens when it is taken in the form of a supplement. Thus, they recommend that you eat garlic fresh and in its natural form to reap all of its health benefits.

They detoxify

Some of the most commonly used chemicals such as phthalates, dioxins and PCBs were not widely present in our environment about a century ago. Since we are more exposed to them now, the reported rates of diseases like cancer and liver disorder are on a rise. Women prefer to improve their health by reducing exposure to synthetic chemicals and detoxifying. A detox program can provide you relief from digestive problems, fatigue, and muscle pain.

Hygienic

One of the reasons why some women never get sick is because they wash their hands a dozen times a day. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand washing is one of the best and easiest ways to dodge cold and bacteria that cause food borne illnesses such as E.coli and salmonella. So, wash your hands more often and practice hygiene.

They sleep enough

You may already know that sleep deprivation can have damaging effects, quite similar to the effects of stress. Healthy women sleep for ample hours daily, which helps them to avoid side-effects. Sleep loss can have a degenerative effect on health. According to Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, the number and effectiveness of immune cells decrease when there is not enough sleep.

They have a balanced pH

According to experts, your body is considered healthiest when its systems function somewhere between completely acidic and completely alkaline. When the pH levels do not match that point, your body suffers from a condition called acidosis, which can lead to fatigue, rapid breathing, stomach problems and confusion. Over consumption of acid producing foods such as refined carbohydrates, damaged fats, sweets, alcohol, coffee, meats and dairy products may lead to chronic acidosis. One of the secrets of healthy women who never get sick is maintaining pH balance by drinking plenty of water as it helps your kidneys flush out excess acids, thereby maintaining body’s ph.
