Bad for women: health and beauty

Chapter 1: Women’s Health – A Comprehensive approach

Women’s health is a complex and multifaceted system that depends on many factors, including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, hormonal background and the environment. Unlike men, the female body undergoes significant changes throughout life: the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and menopause. Each of these stages requires special attention and support. The modern rhythm of life, stress, improper nutrition and lack of physical activity can negatively affect female health, leading to various diseases and a deterioration in general well -being.

Traditional medicine plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, but more and more women turn to complementary methods, including the use of biologically active additives (BAD), to maintain health and beauty. It is important to understand that dietary supplements are not medicines and cannot replace the full treatment prescribed by a doctor. However, they can be an effective addition to a healthy lifestyle and help replenish the deficiency of the necessary nutrients.

Key aspects of maintaining women’s health include:

• Balanced nutrition: The basis of health is a diverse diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, low -fat protein and healthy fats.
• Regular physical activity: Moderate physical activity helps maintain weight, improve blood circulation, strengthen bones and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
• Full dream: The lack of sleep negatively affects the hormonal background, immunity and overall well -being.
• Stress management: Chronic stress can lead to various diseases, so it is important to find ways to relax and reduce stress (meditation, yoga, walking in nature).
• Regular medical examinations: Timely detection and treatment of diseases is the key to a long and healthy life.
• Reception of vitamins and minerals: In some cases, taking vitamins and minerals may be necessary to replenish the deficit, especially during periods of increased need (pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause).

Chapter 2: Vitamins and minerals for women’s health

Vitamins and minerals are vital micronutrients necessary for the normal functioning of the body. They participate in metabolic processes, maintaining immunity, strengthening bones and teeth, as well as in the work of the nervous system. The deficiency of vitamins and minerals can lead to various diseases and a deterioration in general well -being. Women especially need certain vitamins and minerals due to physiological characteristics.

2.1. Vitamin D:

Vitamin D plays an important role in the assimilation of calcium and phosphorus necessary for the health of bones and teeth. It also participates in the regulation of the immune system and reduces the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Vitamin D deficiency is widespread, especially in the northern regions where there is little sunlight. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include fatigue, weakness, bones and muscles, as well as increased susceptibility to infections.

Sources of vitamin D:

• Sunlight (synthesized in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays)
• Fat fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel)
• Egg yolk
• Enriched products (milk, juices, cereals)
• Bad (vitamin D3)

The recommended dose of vitamin D for adult women is 600 IU (international units) per day. However, some women may need a higher dose, especially with vitamin D deficiency or the presence of risk factors for the development of deficiency (obesity, dark skin, elderly). Before taking vitamin D in high doses, it is necessary to consult a doctor and take a blood test to the level of vitamin D.

2.2. Vitamin B12:

Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of red blood cells, normal operation of the nervous system and DNA synthesis. He also plays an important role in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, as well as to problems with memory and concentration of attention. Vegetarians and vegans are especially at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, since it is mainly found in animal products.

Sources of vitamin B12:

• Meat (beef, pork, poultry)
• Fish (salmon, tuna, cod)
• Eggs
• Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
• Enriched products (cereals, soy milk)
• Dietary supplements (cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamin)

The recommended dose of vitamin B12 for adult women is 2.4 μg (microgram) per day. Vegetarians and vegans are recommended to take additives with vitamin B12 or consume enriched products. If there are problems with the absorption of vitamin B12, a injecting form of vitamin may be required.

2.3. Folic acid (vitamin B9):

Folic acid is necessary for the formation of new cells, DNA and RNA synthesis, as well as for the normal development of the fetus during pregnancy. Folic acid deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, as well as to the defects of the development of the nervous tube in the fetus. Women planning pregnancy are recommended to take folic acid at a dose of 400 mcg per day, starting 1-3 months before conception and continuing during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Folic acid sources:

• Dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, salad)
• Legumes (beans, lentils, peas)
• Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruits)
• Enriched products (cereals, bread)
• Dietary supplements (folic acid)

The recommended dose of folic acid for adult women is 400 mcg per day. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the need for folic acid increases.

2.4. Iron:

Iron is necessary for the formation of hemoglobin, which transfers oxygen from lungs to tissue. It also participates in the work of the immune system and energy exchange. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, headaches and pallor of the skin. Women are especially at risk of iron deficiency due to menstrual bleeding.

Iron sources:

• Red meat (beef, pork)
• Bird (chicken, turkey)
• Fish (tuna, salmon)
• Legumes (beans, lentils)
• Dark green leafy vegetables (spinach)
• Enriched products (cereals)
• Bad (iron)

There are two forms of iron: hemal (contained in animal products) and non -meter (contained in plant products). Hem iron is better absorbed than a non -meter. To improve the absorption of a non -meter iron, it is recommended to use it with vitamin C.

The recommended dose of iron for adult women is 18 mg per day. During pregnancy, the need for iron increases to 27 mg per day. In the presence of iron deficiency, the doctor may prescribe iron drugs.

2.5. Calcium:

Calcium is necessary for the health of bones and teeth. He also participates in the work of muscles, the nervous system and blood coagulation. Calcium deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, increased risk of fractures and muscle seizures. Women are especially at risk of osteoporosis after menopause, when the level of estrogen decreases.

Calcium sources:

• Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt)
• Dark green leafy vegetables (broccoli, spinach)
• Fish with bones (sardins, salmon)
• Enriched products (soy milk, tofu)
• Bad (calcium)

The recommended dose of calcium for adult women is 1000 mg per day. After 50 years, the need for calcium increases to 1200 mg per day. For better absorption of calcium, it is recommended to use it with vitamin D.

2.6. Magnesium:

Magnesium is involved in many biochemical processes in the body, including maintaining the normal functioning of muscles and nerves, the regulation of blood sugar and blood pressure, as well as strengthening bones. Magnesium deficiency can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, irritability, headaches and sleep problems.

Sources of magnesium:

• Dark green leafy vegetables (spinach, cabbage)
• Nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds)
• Legumes (beans, lentils)
• Whole grain products (brown rice, oatmeal)
• Bad (magnesium)

The recommended dose of magnesium for adult women is 310-320 mg per day.

2.7. Iodine:

Iodine is necessary for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, which produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development. Iodine deficiency can lead to hypothyroidism (a decrease in the function of the thyroid gland), goiter (increase in thyroid gland) and problems with development in children. Women planning pregnancy especially need sufficient iodine, since iodine deficiency can negatively affect the development of the fetus.

Sources of iodine:

• Iodized salt
• Seafood (sea fish, algae)
• Dairy products
• Bad (potassium iodide)

The recommended dose of iodine for adult women is 150 mcg per day. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the need for iodine increases to 220-290 mcg per day.

2.8. Zinc:

Zinc is involved in many biochemical processes in the body, including maintaining immunity, wound healing, DNA and RNA synthesis, as well as the normal operation of the reproductive system. Zinc deficiency can lead to a decrease in immunity, slowing down the healing of wounds, hair loss, worsening taste and smell, as well as to problems with reproductive function.

Sources of zinc:

• Meat (beef, pork, poultry)
• Seafood (oysters, crabs)
• Nuts and seeds (pumpkin seeds, cashews)
• Legumes (beans, lentils)
