Daily
Supplements for Women's Health
Would you like to feel better
during the menstrual cycle? Worry less about getting sick because
you have a family to care for? Have enough energy to hold down a
career, with some leftover for physical fitness and a vital sex
life? Prevent common women’s aging ailments like osteoporosis?
Although sickness may come at
some time or another, there is a way to feel confident that we’ve
done all we can for our bodies through proper daily nutrition for
continued women’s health. Here are some keys to good women’s
health:
- Get educated and educate your daughters early
about daily nutrition and women’s health issues that differ
from men.
- Take preventive and proactive women’s
health measures to reduce incidents of sickness and suddenly
needed medicine.
- Train yourself to eat healthy foods and get
exercise.
- Take supplements – Food doesn’t
give us all the daily nutrition we need.
Although VÄXA is proud of “Daily
Essentials”, our natural multivitamin/mineral complex,
even this plus food isn’t the end-all to supporting women’s
health – unless we pull everything straight out of our garden,
eat five bunches of vegetables a day, and never, ever touch sweets,
coffee or soda!
Here are some of the best supplements
for complete daily nutrition to enhance women’s health:
- Essential Fatty Acids: (EFA’s)
– Essential fatty acids are just that – essential
to women’s health, and should be included in our daily
nutrition. EFA’s are the “good” oils, called
Omega’s 3-6-9. They can be found in foods such as fish
- salmon, tuna, mackerel and swordfish; nuts like almonds and
sunflower seeds; avocados, flax, and olive oils. Our bodies
manufacture and synthesize some, but supplemental EFA’s
can help girls and women who may have these symptoms, or help
to prevent them:
- Eczema/dermatitis, rashes, early aging
signs on facial skin
- Dry, irritated eyes and itchy skin around
eyes (“blephritis”)
- Joint aches, inflammations, allergies,
low immunities
- Fatigue, mood swings, irritability (even
ADD/ADHD)
- Intense menstrual cramps
- Symptoms of menopause like hot flashes
and vaginal dryness
EFA’s are also important to our
heart, circulatory and brain functions. VÄXA’s natural
formula, Omegacin, has
powerful EFA’s.
- Calcium, but not by itself:
Females need at least 1,000 mg’s of calcium per day. Past
the teen years, we stop naturally absorbing enough through food
nutrition. Although the best absorbed form is Calcium Citrate,
calcium needs help reaching the bones. Using heartburn tablets
for calcium is a myth. The best combination is Calcium Citrate
with Vitamin D and Magnesium.
- Preventive Measures against Infection:
“Probiotics”, the good bacteria we need in our Immune
Systems, are important to women’s health and young girls
as well. Probiotics nestle in the intestines and are vital for
good digestion (See ReFlora).
A healthy “gut” is a key to good bodily functions.
Everyone has some good and bad bacteria,
but females are more prone to urinary tract and yeast infections
which can occur when good bacteria is depleted. Any lowering of
our Immune System can set this off – antibiotics, a sugary
diet, intestinal ailments or continued feminine moistness from poorly
structured underwear, water athletics, or intercourse (see our articles
on Yeast and Urinary Tract Infections by clicking on the
left bar).
