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).
Consider
the Växa products mentioned here and in our other Women’s
Health medical information articles as you think about women’s
health and daily nutrition.
