Top 10 Foods for Women

I’ve been following the Discovery Channel’s Health promotion for the New Year, and they have put out some interesting articles. This article talks about foods that women should make sure are in regular rotation in their diet:

Soy Protein, Whole Grains, Foods Rich in Folate, Cranberries, Water, Nuts, Green Leafy Vegetables, Fruits Rich in Vitamin C, Iron-rich Foods, and Calcium-rich Foods.

What do you think about recommending different food for women, does it make sense? Are you currently making room for any of these? Water seems like a no-brainer

Do women really need to eat any differently than men? After all, we’re all human. While this is certainly true, a woman’s nutritional needs are more specific than a man’s. Pam Peeke, M.D., M.Ph., author of Fight Fat After 40 (Viking 2000) and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine explains why:

“Women are special. They have unique nutritional requirements to keep them energized and focused, especially as they age. And that means over the age of 30! Here’s a great list of foods that every woman needs to incorporate into her weekly diet to guarantee that as each year goes by, she stays as healthy and fit as she can.”
