Why I Am Happy that I am a Woman

Medically speaking, I am happy that I am a woman. Though monthly period makes me less comfortable, I feel blessed that I am menstruating. Estrogen is scientifically believed that it could protect women from heart disease by controlling the bad cholesterol level, osteoporosis, and in brain disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.

Male hormone testosterone may help to increase activity but it could increase impulsiveness and aggressiveness too. They have no protection against accumulation of bad cholesterol in the body, putting men at risk for heart diseases.

Genes plays a big role in acquiring certain health problems but gender and lifestyle has great role too. To all women out there be thankful for the buffering effect of estrogen from certain health ailments.
