Everyone’s nutrient needs are not exactly the same. While most people
benefit from the same vitamins and minerals, a woman’s needs can be a
little different because her body goes through different things
throughout life. Here are 10 nutrients that are important for women to
get.
1. Folic acid
Folic acid is especially important for women of
child-bearing age, but all women benefit from this vitamin. For women of
child-bearing age it’s an important vitamin because it promotes healthy
pregnancy. Lack of folic acid can result in neural tube defects that
lead to cerebral palsy. In addition to taking a prenatal vitamin for
folic acid, you can get folic acid from leafy green vegetables, avocado,
and liver.
