Five Foods All Women Should Consume
Dec 28, 2009
This is just a limited list of the top 5 foods all women should make a priority to consume weekly. Consuming these foods in the organic form boosts the benefits immensely. Check it out:
1. Dairy: women need calcium and vitamin D for bone health, especially as they age, to fight osteoporosis. Using organic yogurt and milk, not only decreases the chances of antibiotic and hormone consumption, but also promotes more humane treatment of the cows and the pastures they live on.
2. Super Salads: women are big salad eaters. By simply choosing organic lettuce, and the veggies you top on it, you can add up to 25% more antioxidants in the same amount of food, and even add an extra serving of veggies to your daily intake.
3. Fruits: add variety for texture, color, and fiber content. The thinner the skin, the more important it is to choose organic. Thoroughly washing, even organic fruits, is very important, to remove any residue or transfer from other items in the store. Fruits provide an abundance of antioxidants and phytochemicals that fight cancer and cell damage.
4. Tomatoes: organic tomatoes contain more lycopene than non-organic. Even better, try getting an organic “just picked” tomato for the most beneficial nutrient content. Lycopene lowers risk for cancer and heart disease.
5. Grass-Fed Beef: red meat is beneficial for its iron and lean protein content. By choosing free range, grass-fed beef, you are promoting more environmentally friendly farming (as with the dairy), and the beef itself is leaner and contains five times the omega-3’s as compared to its grain-fed counterparts.
As a bonus, organic Red wine (in moderation, of course), has 32% more antioxidants than non-organic. The antioxidants found in the skin of grapes has been shown to lower blood pressure, slow the aging process, and prevent some cancers. Be smart, drink up!
