Four Health Checks Every Woman Should Perform
(BPT) - Women tend to spend more time taking care of their families, homes and jobs than themselves. With so much time invested in caring for others, women can overlook the importance of their own health. National Women's Health Week was recognized on May 12 to May 18, but taking care of your own health should be a year-round pursuit. Here are four health checks every woman should have, and if it's been a while (or never) since you had one, schedule a doctor's visit right away.

Annual Physical: No matter your age or relative level of health, it's important to see your family doctor at least once a year for a complete physical that includes blood pressure screening and a blood test that will check for diabetes, high cholesterol and other problems. This checkup can help your doctor spot any problems, provide you with guidance toward your weight and health goals, and give you peace of mind when everything checks out fine. Skin Check: Skin cancer rates have been rising for years - so much so that now, one in every five Americans will get skin cancer, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. It's also one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, if caught early. In addition to performing regular self-checks, it's important to have your skin thoroughly checked by a professional, too. Ask your physician to include a skin check as part of your annual physical, or schedule an appointment with a dermatologist. Reproductive Health: From fertility questions and cancer screenings, to heavy periods and uterine fibroids, women can face many reproductive health issues. It's important for women of every age to monitor the health of reproductive organs, so be sure to see your gynecologist once a year. He or she can also tell you what tests you should have to monitor your health. Mental/Emotional Well-Being: Just as you take care of your own physical health and the mental health of your family members, it's important to take care of your own emotional well-being. There's nothing wrong with finding some "me time" for yourself every day. In fact, it's vital.

Journalist Bruce Catton recorded this observation in the aftermath of the battle: "The town of Gettysburg looked as if some universal moving day had been interrupted by catastrophe." Four months later, the effects of the battle were still evident in Gettysburg, when President Lincoln dedicated the Soldier's National Cemetery, delivering his famous Gettysburg Address. 75 years later (in 1938), President Franklin Roosevelt dedicated the monument called the Eternal Light Peace Memorial at a reunion on the battlefield that attracted over 300,000 visitors.

You may not know the name Bill Watterson off the top of your head, but he's likely made a direct impact on your childhood. Watterson is the artist who created arguably the most beloved comic strip of the past 30 years, Calvin and Hobbes. Bill spent much of his childhood alone, drawing and cartooning, throughout his school years in Ohio. He drew cartoons for his high school newspaper and yearbook, and continued to develop his skills at Kenyon College, graduating with a B.A. in Political Science in 1980. He did a brief stint at the Cincinnati Post as a political cartoonist, and worked several years in advertising while experimenting with different comic strip ideas before settling on the now-familiar duo of six-year-old Calvin and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. For ten years, the strip was wildly successful, earning not only the love of fans everywhere, but honors and awards, large and small, nearly every year the strip existed. In 1995, Watterson announced to the world that he had said everything he wanted to say with the strip, and decided to move on to pursue other interests. His disappearance back into personal life was eerily near-total, moving back to his hometown of Chagrin Falls, OH and out of our lives. He does not do public appearances, sign autographs or license his characters for any sort of merchandising. Other than occasionally writing the forward to comic strip collections, both his own and for others, he is completely out of the limelight. But the characters he created for us are legendary and beloved, and will continue to speak to fans, new and old, indefinitely.

Marlene Dietrich said that her favorite meal was hot dogs and champagne. Hot dogs were also the favorite food of Al Capone and Cary Grant.

Cooking Tip: Use a spatula or tongs to cook your hot dogs on the grill. They can lose moisture and tasty juices when pierced by a fork.
