Keeping Up With Women’s Dietary Needs

As women move through different stages of their lives, their nutritional requirements continue to change.  A diet consisting of healthy food is obviously important, but differing amounts of certain vitamins and nutrients are needed during different phases of growth and development.  What is considered a healthy diet when you were a young girl is not the same as when you are in your child-bearing years and definitely not the same as when you’re a post-menopausal woman.

Healthy Food for All Age Groups

When you’re in your late teens and early 20’s

These are the years where you will build up your bone density which is why calcium intake is so important during these years.  Calcium not only helps with healthy bones, it also helps to keep your muscles, nerves and heart strong and healthy. 1,000mg of calcium every day is recommended.
