Nutrition For Women
Today kicks off National Women’s Health Week, so I wanted to highlight some nutrition tips to help you or the women in your life feel RADIANT! As women, we have unique nutrition needs throughout our life span. Eating for monthly menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, and everything else in between can take a lot out of us. Therefore, in order to stay strong and resilient, adequate and consistent food intake is vital!
Try to eat plenty of healthy fats and protein (in addition to carbs and fruits and veggies ). These are vital nutrients for your body to balance your hormones.
Discuss taking a multivitamin with an RD or get your vitamins and minerals tested beforehand to see if you have any deficiencies. (we do this at Radiant) if you feel your diet has been lackluster.
Drink plenty of water. For some, it can be hard to remember, but your body will thank you later! Particularly if you are spending more time outside this summer. Adding electrolytes can be a refreshing way to make drinking water tastier and easier.
Eat breakfast! We have seen so many clients skipping the first meal of the day due to time constraints or because it is the “easiest” meal to skip. If you are one of these people, we have the best breakfast tips and tricks for you!
Check us out - most people who carry insurance have at least 3 covered visits or more with an RD per year!!!!
