Women's Health Benefits of Eating Greens

Women are busy these days, and it is hard to get in the essential nutrients that our bodies require to work at an optimal level. Along with regular exercise at least 5 times per week, we are encouraged to eat well. Eating well may be a goal of ours from the minute we awake in the morning, but our day takes off and we now find ourselves having ordered lunch through a window OR completely skipping the meal altogether. Regardless of the excuse we have for not eating well and under nourishing our perfectly-made bodies, we are responsible for and do have control over our overall health. Womens health supplements work well when taken with a fortifying meal plan.

The best thing we can do is fortify our bodies and souls with whole foods such as vegetables. Greens such as kale and spinach provide an incredible amount of vitamins and minerals that our precious bodies need to stay healthy and active. Super nutritious Kale is fast becoming a delicious leader in the greens department.  One cup is fortified with  5 grams of fiber and the following daily requirement values: 40% magnesium, 180% of Vitamin A, 200% of Vitamin C, and 1,020% of Vitamin K.  It is also an excellent source of minerals including copper, potassium, iron, manganese, and phosphorus. Vitamins A, C and K provide an excellent source of antioxidants and sulphur containing phytonutrients.

Spinach is another healthy greens leader for women. Eating spinach does wonders for skin because of the Vitamin A rich nutrients. Filled with flavonoids, a phytonutrient with anti-cancer properties, eating spinach may slow down cell division in the human stomach and skin cancer cells. Get your guy on board as well, because Spinach has shown significant protection against the occurrence of aggressive prostate cancer. Spinach also may play an important role in the regulation of inflammation. Spinach also contains of 337% of the RDA of Vitamin A which is protects and strengthens mucous membranes, respiratory, urinary and boosts intestinal tract health and immunity. Eating spinach has powerful antioxidants that may help to combat osteoporosis and high blood pressure.

Bodybuilding Supplements - Where to Start

Click Here for Workout Clothes
If you are a workout enthusiast you know the benefits of working out and eating right on a regular basis. Why spend hours at the gym only to deplete your efforts if you head home to the sugar carbs? Did you know that taking protein-packed bodybuilding and fitness supplements is a great way to help get the results you work hard for and want to maintain? The ingredients in bodybuilding supplements may vary, but the results are generally the same - and the results are good. And, with so many supplements out there to increase muscle and reduce fat, it may be difficult to know where to start. We have some ideas for you to get started.
Shop Here for Flavored Protein Powder Mixes

The easiest and tastiest way to begin is with a simple protein powder that you can mix in a glass of water, milk or juice. Choose a flavor that you like or that sounds appealing to you and mix 1 scoop with your beverage of choice. I personally love the Designers Whey French Vanilla protein powder because it mixes well and tastes great with milk OR water.  Enjoy a protein powder shake for breakfast as a meal replacement or treat yourself to an after workout pick-me-up within 20 minutes of finishing your workout. This is easier to do, of course, when you are working out on your home gym equipment. If you are heading to the gym, take a pre-mixed sports formula with you for convenience and nutrition. Lean body makes a great tasting formula that is fortified with protein, amino acids and muscle building nutrition.

Ok, get going. Indulge your taste buds and your muscles. We have a great selection of bodybuilding supplements at www.StylishHealthandFitness.com to satisfy every taste and style.

Enjoy!
