Some nutritional needs can change over time, but some are a constant throughout a woman's life. By eating well, a woman can get much of what she needs, such as protein and fibre, but has to especially careful to ensure she gets enough of certain essential vitamins and minerals that a regular diet doesn't always provide in sufficient amounts.

For example, vitamin D, zinc, iron, calcium, and magnesium. For those who are either vegans or vegetarians, it's important to make sure you're getting enough vitamin B12 too. Good sources of these can be found in super foods, including: Raw cacao nibs, for a great source of magnesium, as it happens one of the highest of all foods. For calcium, spirulina contains more than milk, it also has lots of zinc, and has more iron than raw liver. Vitamin D and zinc, as well as vitamin B12, can be found in Bee pollen.

The healthy choice

To begin with, every woman should take a moment and see that she is getting the right amount of essential vitamins and minerals, that are so important for her health and wellbeing, including the vitamin C and the B complex (or set of) vitamins. The vitamin B's are, vitamin B1 or thiamine, vitamin B2 or riboflavin, vitamin B3 or niacin/ niacinamide, vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid, vitamin B6 or pyridoxine, vitamin B7 or biotin, vitamin B9 which everyone knows as folic acid, and of course vitamin B12 or cobalamin. Bee pollen actually contains every single B vitamin and is high in vitamin C too. Spirulina also contains vitamin C and has many of the B vitamins.

It's incredible to think that most super foods are rich in many of the minerals and vitamins that are missing from what would be considered a normal or balanced diet. For example, vitamins A and E, which go to make your skin healthy and smooth, and strengthen your immune system.

Strong bones

To avoid the possible onset of osteoporosis in later life, women need to take care now of their bones. Jackie Keller author of Body After Baby says "Women need calcium at all stages of life, and we generally don't get enough in our diets through food sources." Calcium can found naturally in both milk and spirulina, and when taken in addition to healthy, balanced diet, means that we can be sure of getting enough calcium. Also, as an extra measure to protect the bones, doctors recommend taking vitamin D along with calcium. Vitamin D can be found in many super foods, including bee pollen and chia seeds

Good fatty acids

Omega 3 oils, are the essential fatty acids for the health of the body. In women, these oils can go a long way to help prevent a long list of conditions which include heart disease, depression and also osteoporosis. Omega 3 oils can be found in walnuts, olive and rapeseed oils and chia seeds.
