 Whether it is genetic or cultural, women tend to be more prone to running themselves ragged and not taking care of themselves while doing it. This is only one of many reasons why nutrition for women is very important.
For right or wrong, one of the things behind this tendency of women not to take the care they should is that there is cultural conditioning that states a woman is selfish if she attends to her own needs before everyone and everything else is taken care of. This can lead not only to exhaustion, but very poor nutritional habits and, ironically and most unfairly, weight gain.
It is one of the biggest jokes of the universe that working yourself into exhaustion on a daily basis and eating poorly as a result of this will not only make you really tired and grouchy, but will probably also make you fat. This can happen to men too, but due to hormonal balances and such, women are more prone to it.
So, even if she is not trying to lose weight or build muscle or train for the Olympics, a woman’s nutritional needs require close attention. This isn’t always easy, even in someone who’s learned that she needs to take time for herself.
Fortunately, there are products, vitamins, supplements, snack and meal replacement shakes, made with nutrition for women in mind. They are also made with whole foods, and therefore are not putting more chemicals or preservatives into a body that doesn’t need it, but are also geared to work with the body. It’s even possible to get advice on nutrition along with the products.
