A Lady's Daily Vitamins

By David Morris


Over time many aspects of a woman's may change, however something things never change, and this includes a woman's nutritional needs. By eating a good, balanced diet, a woman will get many of the things her body needs, including protein and fibre but she still has to take care she gets enough of the essential vitamins and minerals that a regular diet may not provide.

For example, vitamin D, zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium. For those who are either vegans or vegetarians, it's important to make sure you're getting enough vitamin B12 too. Good sources of these can be found in super foods, including: Raw cacao nibs, for a great source of magnesium, as it happens one of the highest of all foods. For calcium, spirulina contains more than milk, it also has lots of zinc, and has more iron than raw liver. Vitamin D and zinc, as well as vitamin B12, can be found in Bee pollen.

The healthy choice

The first thing to do, is to consider exactly are we really getting enough of the essential vitamins and minerals that we need to be healthy and happy? These include vitamin C and full set of B vitamins. We all know about vitamin C, think oranges for example, but what about all the B vitamins? Vitamin B1 is called thiamine, vitamin B2 is riboflavin, vitamin B3 is niacinamide, vitamin B5 is pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 is pyridoxine, vitamin B7 is biotin, vitamin B9 is better know as folic acid, and B12 is cobalamin. Bee pollen is one superfood that actually contains all the B vitamins together as well as vitamin C. Spirulina contains many of the B vitamins and vitamin C.

In fact most Super foods contain many of the vitamins and minerals that can not always found in a 'normal' diet, including vitamin A, and vitamin E for healthy skin and immune function, and to protect against a wide variety of diseases.

Strong bones

Ladies also need to take good care to keep their bones strong to prevent against osteoporosis as the years go by. Nutrition expert and author of Body After Baby, Jackie Keller says "Women need calcium at all stages of life, and we generally don't get enough in our diets through food sources." As well as milk, Spirulina is just an excellent source of calcium, and when taken along side a good, balanced diet can help you each the recommended daily amount. In addition, doctors do also recommend taking vitamin D along side taking calcium. Super foods including bee pollen and chia seeds contain vitamin D.

The fatty acids that are good

When it comes to the health of the body, omega 3 oils are vital. For women, omega 3 oils help prevent a broad spectrum of conditions. These include osteoporosis, heart disease and also depression. Good food sources of omega 3 oils can be found is fresh water fish, nuts, olive oil and most super foods. Chia seeds are high in Omega 3 too.
