Eating healthy foods is essential for everyone.
Even your pets will appreciate an organic diet rich in lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables and pure spring water.
However, certain foods are especially beneficial for a woman’s body, which is much more than just a smaller version of a man.
The Female body and brains are physically different than the male’.
Women are much more sensitive to the artificial hormones and pesticides crammed into many commercial food products, which can wreak havoc on their reproductive system.
Protecting your body with antioxidants and other vitamins and nutrients that ward off disease is important to keep your system healthy, balanced and functioning at an optimal level.
Foods For Women’s Health
Although these foods are healthy for all humans to eat, they are particularly essential for women.
Always remember to buy organic.
Orange squash and roots
Butternut squash, pumpkins and orange root vegetables like sweet potatoes and carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which is a powerful antioxidant.
Beta-carotene which is known as the protector of vision is also thought to protect against breast cancer and repair damaged skin as well, slowing the signs of ageing.
Iron
During that period of the month, women must consume iron or risk anaemia; although this essential mineral is widely taken in multivitamin form, your body will absorb iron better if you consume it in foods like spinach, lentils, lean red meat and dark poultry.
If you are already taking a multivitamin, make sure it is one made specifically for women that includes iron.
Mangoes

Like many other fruits, mangoes are loaded with vitamin C, a nutrient that fights inflammation and keeps your immune system running smoothly. However, juicy mangoes are also very high in vitamin A that is believed to help protect against cervical cancer- a great excuse for a smoothie.
Beans
A lot of women suffer from digestive irregularities such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and having plenty of natural fibre in your diet from beans, lentils and legumes can help prevent such chronic diseases as colon cancer, which kills more women every year than breast cancer.
Bulky beans are low in fat, inexpensive and are a filling way to beat hunger.
Yoghurt
You need a high intake of calcium to keep your bones strong against the brittle breaks of osteoporosis.
Dairy is a fine source of calcium, and yoghurt offers the added benefit of good bacteria (also know as probiotics) that keep your colon healthy and the whole body system in balance.
Don’t take the premade, commercial yoghurts that are extremely high in sugars, instead, opt for natural yoghurt and flavour it yourself with honey, or agave syrup and fresh fruits.
Figs
Figs contain elevated levels of vitamin B-6, a nutrient that has been proven to help balance the mood and ease the symptoms of PMS.
The fibre in figs helps you feel full and can sooth many common digestive irregularities as well.
Salmon
Salmon, as well as other fatty fish such as mackerel and sardines, are rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are indeed necessary for proper brain function as well as protection from arthritis and heart disease.
Berries
Cranberries, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries contain potent anti-cancer agents that play a fundamental role in cell repair and may protect against many forms of disease, including breast cancer and colon cancer, the two cancers that affect women most.
Loaded with vitamin C, folic acid and antioxidants as well, berries ward off urinary tract infections, help your vision and may also protect against skin ageing. Try to include berries in your daily diet.
Incorporate these healthy foods for women into your diet if you want a healthy body.
