Superfoods Just For Women

In today's world of conscious eating, finding the right foods to consume can

be a bit of a challenge. Did you know certain foods hold benefits just for

women? Below are key superfoods that can contribute to women's health:

Wild Alaskan Salmon:

With two kinds of omega-3s in this delicious fish, women can see a benefit

in pregnancy health, as well as boosting mood.

Wild Blueberries:

" They're truly one of nature's ultimate anti-aging foods, " says Kate Geagan,

MS, RD, author of Go Green Get Lean. Wild blueberries are known to have the

highest content of antioxidants, as well as anthocyanins, one of the most

powerful forms of antioxidants.

Oats:

Delivering soluble and insoluble fiber, oats can help people feel fuller

faster, helping to control weight.

Broccoli:

Delivering vitamin C and a good source of vitamin A, broccoli helps you feel

full on less than 30 calories per serving. And it gets bonus points for

fiber, folate (folic acid), calcium, iron, and potassium.

Walnuts:

" Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s-what else is there to

say? " asks L. Katz, MD, MPH, associate professor at the Yale School of

Medicine.

Avocados:

Avocados pack high amounts of potassium, magnesium, folate, protein, and

vitamins B6, E, and K. Add to that fiber and plant sterols, and you have one

nutrient-dense food. Plus, heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids in

avocados can actually help you lose belly fat.

Red Beans:

They are antioxidants and packed with protein, folate, minerals, and fiber,

including resistant starch. Resistant starch seems to have several important

benefits, like boosting the body's ability to burn fat and helping it feel

full.

Greek Yogurt:

One serving supplies nearly one-fourth of a woman's daily calcium needs, and

the fat-free variety is packed with twice as much protein as regular yogurt.

As an added bonus, Greek yogurt is loaded with probiotics.

Olive Oil:

A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil has long been linked to heart

health and longevity. And with the delicious flavor, how can you go wrong?

Dark Chocolate:

It's " the food you love that loves you back, " says L. Katz, MD, MPH,

associate professor at the Yale School of Medicine. Dark chocolate is loaded

with magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, and phosphorus-all important for

strong bones.
