No proper support systems! A majority of women still don't have understanding family members who support them!

Imagine how tough life could be when you work for the whole day and come home with lots of frustration and then you are expected to cook or make love with a smile!!

No sleep! Decades ago, people would finish dinner by 7 pm and go to bed. But today, the world is active till midnight. So, lack of sleep is one reason that's killing the immunity.

Reason #8

Decades ago, drinking or smoking was just an occasional pleasure. But today, the high stress levels are forcing many women towards addictions that destroy health.
