National Women’s Health Week may be coming to a close tomorrow, but staying informed on women’s health issues is a year-round responsibility. We’re firm believers in social media’s potential to empower women with health news and information, so with that in mind, we’d like to recommend some of our favorite women’s health-related Twitter accounts. From doctors to government organizations, each provides valuable resources for maintaining good health.

FDAWomen – This account has a wealth of information about female-specific food and drugs, along with breaking news that affects women.

Diets in Review – Follow this feed for daily tips and inspiration on healthy eating and nutrition.

Doug Penta, MD – This OB/GYN physician may be a man, but he stays on the cutting edge of medical issues related to women’s health.

Fabulous and Fit – Constantly updated, this account offers useful fitness-related links, along with encouraging quotes and tips to keep you motivated.

US DHHS Office on Women’s Health – In addition to running National Women’s Health Week, this is a catch-all resource for all things women’s health.
