“The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history. Eliot, George”. for happiest women ,she take care of her regular food. So here I am sharing information related to women food for her fitness and health.
Best Foods for Women
Parmesan cheese for strengthening bones: Calcium is key for preventing
osteoporosis (especially in your 20s). Yogurt and nonfat milk help, but who
wants them three times a day? Work Parmesan cheese into your diet; its 340 mg
of calcium per ounce - compared to about 200 mg in cheddar or Swiss - goes a
long way toward your 1000 mg/day quota.
Apples boost your immune system: Smart and sweet, apples are rich in
quercetin, an antioxidant that can bolster your body's disease-fighting
abilities. In one study from Appalachian State University, just 5 percent of
people who ate more quercetin came down with a respiratory infection over a
two-week period, compared to 45 percent of those who didn't.
Lentils build your iron stores: Low-calorie lentils pack about 30 percent
of your daily iron per cup cooked. About 12 percent of young women have low
iron stores - at the extreme, that leads to anemia. But one study found that
even women who were iron deficient (not anemic) had poorer performances on
skill tests than those with normal levels.
Broccoli fights wrinkles: "A cup of broccoli has 100 percent of your
vitamin C-crucial for production of collagen, which gives skin
elasticity," says Tammy Lakatos Shames, R.D. It's also rich in
beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This vitamin assists in
cell turnover, so old skin cells are replaced with fresh (read:
younger-looking) ones.
Potatoes pack healthy carbs: Potatoes contain a fat-fighting compound
called resistant starch that can help keep weight in check. One medium spud
with the skin will run you just around 100 calories, and with more potassium
than bananas, potatoes also help fight heart disease by keeping blood pressure
low.
Spinach is dense with key nutrients: This leafy green is high in vitamin K
and also contains calcium and magnesium - a combo that may help slow the
breakdown of bone that occurs as you get older - as well as folate, a B vitamin
that helps prevent birth defects. And it packs just 7 calories per cup raw!
Mushrooms deliver cancer-fighting antioxidants: One study showed that
women who ate just one third of an ounce of raw mushrooms a day (that's about
one button mushroom) had a 64 percent reduction in breast cancer risk. Other
research suggests that mushrooms reduce the effects of aromatase, a protein
that helps produce estrogen - a major factor in some breast cancers.
Sardines fight heart disease: These pungent little fish are good sources
of omega-3 acids, which decrease inflammation that can lead to blocked
arteries. They also prevent blood clots that can cause heart attacks and
strokes, and keep blood vessels smooth and supple. Three ounces of sardines
have about 1.3 grams of omega-3s (you need about 1 gram a day).
Avocados: Avocados are high in monounsaturated fat, which has been shown
to help you drop weight, including from your troublesome middle. In one study,
people who got the most monos (about 23 percent of their daily calories) had
about 5 pounds less belly fat than those who ate a high-carb, lower-fat diet.
