Above all, don’t smoke.never smoke lady! Cigarette smoke is a toxic cocktail of around 70 cancer-causing chemicals and hundreds of other poisons. Smoking is the single biggest cause of cancer in the world. In the UK, smoking accounts for one in four cancer deaths and kills five times more people than road accidents, overdoses, murder, suicide and HIV all put together.
Eat at roughly the same times each day. This might be two, three or more times but a routine encourages a reasonable weight.
Watch your portions. Don’t heap food on your plate (except for vegetables) and think twice before having second helpings.
Try to have five portions of fruit and vegatables a day. A portion is about 80g of fruit or vegetables. This is roughly equal to an apple, orange, banana, or similarly-sized fruit or two serving spoons of cooked vegetables such as broccoli or carrots.
Eat foods with reduced fat. Choose reduced fat versions of foods such as dairy products, spreads and salad dressings. Cut fat off meat.
Eat foods with reduced salt. Too much salt can increase your blood pressure and your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Eat healthier snacks. If you’re hungry between meals, choose a healthy option such as fresh fruit or low calorie yogurts instead of chocolate or crisps.
Look at food labels. Choose food with less far, sugar and salt content.
Think about how you eat. Eat your meals at the table and it will help you focus on the amount of food you eat. Eat slowly because it takes time for your body to register how much food you’ve eaten and how full you are. Don’t eat while walking, but wait until you get there and take time to concentrate on what you are eating.
Think about what you drink. Water is good (but eight glasses a day is not necessary – for discussion click here). Semi-skimmed milk is good too. Many soft drinks (including fizzy and sweetened soft drinks) contain a lot of sugar. Alcohol is high in calories.
Walk every day. The aim should be to do around 10,000 steps which equates to around 60-90 minutes of walking. Using a pedometer on a belt is a good way to monitor this. On the way to or from work, shops, or meetings, leave the car or public transport a bit short of your destination.

from a woman’s perspective it simply means that she neednt be concerned about taking contraceptives… those contraceptives do interfere with your natural hormone and rythmic cycles. Can induce weight gain, mood swings and so on…. as if you were actually pregnant.
It also means that by reason of the removal of risk of unwanted pregnancy a female partner of a man who has had a vasectomy needn’t face the stress associated with potential pregnancy, the decision process for abortion, the anxiety resulting from that process and the ongoing “what if” that resides in her head for the rest of her life.
In all, I’d say that it has a significant impact on a woman’s well being.
On the other side of the coin, the thrill of risking pregnancy in an encounter with a stranger is lost if that stranger has had a vasectomy… but I guess you can pretend… but ask to see his scar first.
