To mark the International Women’s Day (March 8), a website now promises to do for most women what a busy schedule may push aside in their lives: overall well-being. A team of doctors has launched the website dedicated to women that would not just educate, inform but also guide them through their health-related problems. And all this comes free.

So, if one is pregnant, the expert panel at http://www.indianwomenshealth.com/ would tell how to eat for two, negotiate check-ups, body weight and fertility tests. There is more on reproductive health, breast care, understanding mammograms, managing pre-menstrual syndromes and even some fertility basics.

The website also features comprehensive sections on pregnancy, nutrition and cosmetic health.

And there are also valuable nutrition notes for men who are to become fathers and tips on what they can do as husbands, which experts say is most important. “Today’s women are forever trying to be super-efficient in coping with careers, looking good, maintaining home and taking care of family. That’s when men need to give their share too in making sure that they live well,” says Dr Suneeta Mittal, head, department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and director-in-charge, WHO-CCR in Human Reproduction, AIIMS.

She is part of the website’s expert panel.

A major part of the website focuses on nutrition, which doctors say is the most important component as the lifestyle of working women is making them low on nutrition. “Reason for growing problems is the changing lifestyle of working women, who neither eat enough nor eat the right kind of food, and do little exercise,” says nutritionist Rekha Sharma, secretary Diabetes Foundation (India) and formerly chief dietician at AIIMS. “The tendency to reach for fast food is leaving us nutritionally deficient but satiated.”
