Yummy Foods That Promote Women’s Heart Health

Go nuts and boost your heart health. Studies show that the humble nut can lower triglycerides and provide individuals with heart-protective nutrients. These include copper, magnesium, arginine, vitamin E and folate, along with fiber. Now that’s good news for many nut-loving women experiencing the signs and symptoms of a heart problem.

Participants in one study who ate 1.5 ounces of pistachios each day for a month, then ate three ounces daily for another month actually experienced a nine percent drop in LDL cholesterol. That was after following the low-nut diet. The decrease in unhealthy cholesterol was greater after eating more pistachios.

There are other great-tasting foods that women who are prone to heart problems can savor to their hearts’ content. Topping the list are blueberries (which may be added to whole grain cereal, pancakes or salad) and salmon. Drinking red wine has likewise been associated with a lowered rate of heart disease.

Sorting Abundant Women’s Health Information

backtobetterhealth — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:18:10 +0000

photo credit: NYCgal Ever wondered where women get their health updates? From fellow women, of course. Then, there’s the internet, which is teeming with health news & studies. There are also books and magazines replete with articles and photos of women who look great after trying one great dietary tactic or another.

If fat’s the issue, women’s health information resources run the gamut from consumer product brand brochures to emailed health updates, to word-of-mouth advice and doctor’s recommendations, to printed literature.

Women who are forever on the go and tend to feel anxious or emotionally aroused on matters concerning health may end up confused with all the information overload. The best way to go about it is to check with your doctor first before trying anything. Self-medicating may be fine but only to some extent. Read as many materials on the same subject matter to educate yourself and learn how to judge the value of any new health information you come across.

Women’s Health Care as Pressing Matter

backtobetterhealth — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:10:07 +0000

Women experiencing changes in their menstrual cycle, having a difficult pregnancy, or marked changes in eating habits need to reassess their intake of important nutrients – from foods and/or a quality multivitamin.

Aging women, in particular, need to supervise their health and consult with a doctor for proper herbal supplementation therapy. A medical expert will be able to suggest the right dose of important vitamins & minerals, including vitamins D & B, calcium, folic acid, and other vital nutrients.

If you’ve been dieting all your life, it’s time to make a change and address the gaping holes in your nutrition. Strive to get vitamins from actual sources.
