Usually, women do not like the topic of age, but it will not be possible to bypass it in this matter. If in youth everyone basically manages with the “vitamin of growth” (Vitamin D), and nature does an excellent job with everything else, after 25-30 years, the need for vitamins for women changes quite a lot.
After 30, vitamin B6 becomes important for the body – it helps to increase stress resistance and bring sleep back to normal, as well as vitamin B3, which has a positive effect on heart function. Particular attention should be paid to vitamin A, which helps maintain good vision, and vitamin D, which strengthens bones and keeps the skin in good condition.
After 40, significant changes are occurring in the body of a woman, affecting, first of all, the endocrine system. Because of this, the process of withering of the skin begins, and the bones become more fragile. Therefore, after 40 years, it is important to ensure that the diet includes a sufficient amount of vitamin D and calcium, as well as vitamins E and A. Retinol (Vitamin A) slows down the aging process, strengthens blood vessels and improves blood circulation, and is also effective in preventing gynecological diseases. Vitamin E is involved in the creation of collagen, which helps maintain skin elasticity and slow down the formation of wrinkles.
After 50, all of the above nutrients also continue to play an important role, but during this period it is imperative to add vitamin F to the diet, which prevents the appearance of age spots, and vitamin K, which strengthens bones and contributes to the normal functioning of the kidneys. As well as all B vitamins to maintain all vital processes in the body, calcium and vitamin D to prevent the early development of osteoporosis.
After 60, you should take care of the intake of vitamin B9 in the diet – it is necessary to normalize the process of hematopoiesis, vitamin B6 – to prevent radiculitis and conjunctivitis, B5 – from arthritis, vitamin C – to prevent oncology and to strengthen immunity, vitamin A – to improve vision and the condition of hair and skin, as well as vitamin E – to prevent blood clots and to prevent the harmful effects of carcinogens.
As you can see, vitamin and mineral requirements vary greatly with age. In addition, in certain periods, women have an additional need for vitamins. For example, in vitamin B9 (folic acid), which is especially necessary during pregnancy, it is involved in cell division, the creation of the placenta, the production of hemoglobin and the correct transfer of genetic data. And in a number of important vitamins and nutrients, both for the course of a normal pregnancy and the intrauterine development of a healthy baby.
