Women, especially moms, are often in the business of taking care of everyone and everything - except themselves.

It's always a great time to encourage moms to treat themselves to good health. Dr. Holly L. Thacker encourages women to put themselves first year-round! She says once a year women need to hit several checkboxes to ensure good health.

It's easy for women to get caught up in family & career responsibilities, but Dr. Holly Thacker says it's important women care for themselves as well - and knowing some key numbers is a good place to start.

One of the common changes for women as they grow older is to lose a small amount of height -- most women will lose up to an inch. Dr. Holly L. Thacker says this happens because you lose the space in the discs that support the bones in your spine.

To keep your bones healthy as you get older, make sure your diet includes foods that are rich in calcium and vitamin D. These nutrients are essential to maintain strong bones, but they cannot reverse or treat bone loss, which is called osteoporosis.

It’s time for concern when your physician has documented a loss in height that exceeds an inch and a half.
