Vitamins for a Healthy Woman

Executive summary about healthy woman by Uma Shankari

A well planned diet for women should supply both macronutrients, like proteins, carbohydrates, and fat, as well as micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. Whole foods are the preferred source of important vitamins and minerals for your health. Never forget to add high vitamin vegetables and fruits, such as broccoli, oranges, strawberries, or spinach to your meals.

Plant sources of iron are poorly absorbed, leaving you anemic. Fat-soluble vitamins like A and D have the capacity to be stored in our bodies. For example, vitamin E works more efficiently in the presence of vitamin C. Calcium has a much higher absorption rate when taken with magnesium. A woman over 40 should consider supplementing her diet with calcium and magnesium along with vitamin D. Ultraviolet rays from sunlight trigger vitamin D synthesis in the skin. Not only is vitamin D important for calcium absorption, it aids weight loss, strengthens bone, and protects against cancer and depression. Without vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen.


This is the Vitamins for Weight Loss

The best sources of vitamin K are leafy green vegetables. Elderly people have trouble absorbing B vitamins. Many of these vitamins work synergistically with other B vitamins. Biotin works synergistically with vitamin B6, riboflavin and other B vitamins. It also helps to lower blood sugar levels. People with level 2 diabetes have significantly lower biotin levels. If there is a lack of iron, vitamin B12 or folic acid (one of the B group of vitamins) anemia will develop. Anemia due to a lack of vitamin B12 is called pernicious anemia. A vegetarian or vegan diet can cause deficiency because vitamin B12 is only found in foods of animal origin, such as meat, fish, eggs and milk. Selenium is a natural mineral that increases natural killer cells and mobilizes cancer-fighting cells. Essential fatty acids protect the body against damage from over-reactions to infection. When taking essential fatty acid supplements, such as flax or fish oils, take additional vitamin E, which acts together with essential fatty acids to boost the immune system.

Workout Routines For the Healthy Woman

Executive summary about healthy woman by Felicia B White

Well ladies the rumors are true, we have to put ourselves first and that means we have to learn to PUSH in our physical life just like we PUSH in our spiritual life. Pick Up Something Heavy.

I'm talking about strength training. Strength training is part of a balanced exercise routine that increases muscle mass by making the muscles work harder than they ever have before. It has worked wonders for me. Since I've been strength training, I've lost 1-1/2 cup sizes and I'm not talking about a cup of coffee. PUSH: Pick Up Something Heavy.
