Top 6 Nutrients for Women!

There are many essential vitamins, mineral and nutrients that we need to live healthy and optimally. Hopefully and ideally, we would obtain these through whole foods and as needed, through supplementation. For women in particular, our needs differ due to hormonal changes through the lifespan. I recently came across this wonderful graphic that shows the top 6 vitamins for women and their whole food source - this is a great resource when grocery shopping! Of course fruits and vegetables should be the bulk of your shopping trip, in addition to whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy as needed. 

Here is the graphic, take a look:

Of course there are many sources of each nutrient - but this is a great starter. For example, greens such as broccoli pack a big calcium punch and is more bioavailable than milk. Or iron can also be obtained from spinach (remember Popeye!) or grass-fed beef.

Vitamin D is very important and I recommend taking in supplementation form, especially in the fall/winter of 1000 IU of D3. I also suggest getting your vitamin D levels checked annually or every 6 months if you are below optimal levels. (This not covered by OHIP, but many extended benefit plans do cover this expense - look at your plans!)

Hope you find this useful and remember when you're grocery shopping - you're shopping for nutrients!

Wishing you Wellness,

Hey this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I seldom leave a response, but i did a few searching and wound up here Wellness Works!: Top 6 Nutrients for Women!. And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind. Is it just me or does it look as if like a few of these responses appear like left by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on additional social sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Mayy I just say what a relief to find somebody who genuinely knows what they're discussing over the internet. You actually realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people must read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you are not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
