Yesterday we talked about how lying to your doctor can lead to misdiagnoses. Today’s we’re going to talk about a related subject: misinformation.

So many women think they know about all of the health issues that pertain to them, but are really misinformed.

When you go to the doctor, even for a routine check-up, you should be 100% honest. Now, I know it can be difficult dishing the details on the frequency of your bowel movements (or their appearance, for that matter! Yikes!). It’s also hard to be honest about your sex life, how much you drink and your smoking habits. Sometimes you lie to your doctor without even realizing. For instance, you may not note that you take over the counter allergy medicine or painkiller once a week!

Failing to fill in your doctor on everything can lead to an inaccurate diagnosis, and even the prescribing of medications that could interact poorly with your current lifestyle. Not good, at all!

For more on this fibbing phenomenon, read the article over at Women’s Health Magazine.

It came out again on Friday that alcohol is good for you in a whole new way. You already knew that a glass of wine a day is good for your heart. But did you know that one drink a day can actually increase your bone density and reduce your risk of hip fracture?

According to a study reported by HealthDay News, light to moderate drinking reduces your risk of hip fracture. It was previously known that your risk of hip fracture actually increased with heavy drinking, but up until now, no studies were conducted to see the effects of light drinking on bone density. Turns out, the effects are positive.

It just goes to show that alcohol can be good for you, in moderation of course. So as this Memorial Day weekend gets going, don’t get too crazy, but don’t fear a drink or two. You might be doing your body good!
