Healthy Food Especially for Woman



Carrots

Carrots are packed with carotenoids such as alpha-carotene and beta-carotene. Carotenes are essential to women's health, as a high-carotenoid diet has been linked to lowered risks of both breast and ovarian cancer. 

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, a pigment found in tomatoes. Lycopene may be effective in preventing breast cancer but as it is a powerful oxidant, it also can help to reduce risk of heart disease, as women are equally prone for heart disease.

 Spinach

Spinach is rich in magnesium, and this may be beneficial in reducing many of the physical symptoms of PMS; as well as a possible reduction in swelling, breast tenderness, bloating and gaining weight.

Milk

Milk is a great source of calcium, and therefore milk is not only good to counter osteoporosis, but a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D could also be beneficial in easing, or even prevent, symptoms of PMS.

Oats

Oats are rich in health-boosting nutrients. Oats are not only great for heart health, digestion and blood pressure levels, but they contain vitamin B6, which can help prevent PMS and mood swings. Another nutrient of oats is folic acid, which is important for women to consume before and during pregnancy to prevent birth defects in babies.
