Women may be unknowingly contributing to their future

health. Striving to be a super woman can bring high levels of

stress, anxiety and feelings of depression into the daily routine.

Dr. Lori Mosca, Director of Preventive Cardiology at New York

Presbyterian Hospital, notes that women “should make sure

they have a good support network, and doctors should be on

the lookout for depression” (Hawthorne). Being committed to

good health habits, such as regular exercise and sensible

eating can be a value that women will realize many years later.
