Final Answer :
Women can change their diet (a well-balanced diet, with plenty of whole-grain cereals, fruits, and vegetables), avoid alcohol and tobacco, get sufficient sleep, and exercise. (Aerobic exercise brings oxygen to body tissues and stimulates the production of endorphins, which are chemical substances that help promote feelings of well-being.)
