The biggest challenges to exercising regularly and keeping a healthy diet are just staying consistent. We are all busy these days and sometimes it seems hard to find time to work out. As far as the diet goes, fast food is the worst food for you but at times you just want to go through the drive through. Sometimes it’s hard to find energy to work out or cook after a long day. I think that in the future, the challenges will only grow greater. Starting a career, getting married, having children any and all of those things are time consuming but is still very important to find time to exercise and eat healthy because you feel so much better and also relieve stress.

Society might have a bad image about menopause, and aging and older women but I think that can be change by talking about the positive more than the negative about menopause, like not having menstruation anymore, also more time for you and wisdom and confidence. I would love to take it all in with a good attitude and be excited about aging and other women would be to if there was a good image about it not just all about been 20. Is a lot about been 45and up you will be even more of a women. And is natural and everyone should take life with wisdom and confidence is a great life experience.

STDs is everywhere and anybody can get them. In Africa where I am from, STDs is a very bad problem. Many women are virgins when they get married but they end up catching something from their husbands. I have heard of so many of these cases. Sometimes, STDs are caused from immoral and promiscuous behavior. They can be passed to someone who has morals and is not promiscuous. You can completely trust someone but they can be lying. Sometimes, STDs can be more prevalent in a place where they not as educated about the subject and in places where the medicine is not as good. STD’s affect all races, sexes, social classes, the rich and the poor.

Yes I think that prenatal testing should be routine for all pregnant women. I don’t understand why every woman would not want to get prenatal testing. If a mother has the opportunity to find out whether or not her baby is healthy or not, I think she should take it. If parents-to-be do find out that their baby will have a health issue, they can prepare themselves to deal with it. It would not be a total surprise if their baby is born with a problem. Since the technology exists to perform these tests, women should take advantage of it.

Being born and raised in Sudan, I have experienced a much different culture. Where I lived the population was mostly Muslim. In Muslim culture, abstinence is the only method that is taught. You are taught to save yourself for marriage. There are no condom or birth control pill commercials so I think that many people in Sudan don’t really know about the all of the contraceptives.  In The United States, sex is a much more open topic therefore a person will know a lot more. Some religions don’t believe in contraceptives at all and as a result couples could have many children. I was born and raised Muslim and I taught to not have sex until I got married. There is nothing wrong with using birth control after you get married if a couple is not ready to get pregnant.
