Essential nutrients every woman needs
Dear Women, don't take your health for granted. Ensure that these nutrients are a regular part of your diet...
Calcium: Women have a tendency to suffer from weak bones, especially as they age. This is why calcium is so very important to build strong bones. An estimated 30 million women suffer from osteoporosis in India. And while awareness has increased in recent years, women still need to wake up to the importance of calcium in their diet. Ensure you consume plenty of dairy products. Fortified juice, yogurt and soy milk are great sources of calcium.
Iron: A deficiency in iron can cause anaemia — a very common problem among women. Iron gets oxygen to your cells and a lack of it makes you lethargic and tired. Include lean meat like chicken and turkey as well as fortified cereals and beans in your diet.
Vitamin D: The calcium you consume will be useless if your body does not produce adequate vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin D is found in fish like tuna and salmon as well as in fortified orange juice.
Folic acid: While folic acid is very important for pregnant women, it is essential for the rest as well. Experts say that folic acid helps your cells divide and is found in green, leafy vegetables, juices, beans, fortified cereal and nuts.
Protein: An important nutrient in building healthy bones and muscles, protein also fights germs, breaks down everything you eat and controls your metabolism. Found in poultry, red meat, fish and nuts, studies say that women require at least 45 grams of protein daily.
Fibre: Not only does fibre keep your blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check, it also help you digest your food better. Fibre is found in vegetables, fruits, whole-grain breads and cereals, nuts and beans.
Vitamin C: Want healthy bones and glowing skin? Make sure you're getting enough vitamin C. Stock up on red pepper, broccoli and citrus fruits. Drink orange juice at least thrice a week.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are 'good' fats known to reduce the risk of heart disease. And you can find it in fish like sardines, salmon, herring, trout and mackerel. Walnuts and flaxseeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids.

Traffic Offences and Penalties in India
The Indian Road rules, titled "Rules
of the Road Regulation", were brought into effect since July, 1989.
These rules are germane to the Indian drivers (all inclusive of
two, three and four wheelers), while on the road to ensure an orderly
traffic and a safer journey. Violation of these "Rules of Road Regulation"
is a punishable transgression as per the city specific traffic police
rules and the "Motor Vehicle Act".
Enforcement of these traffic laws
- rules, regulations and acts can bear out the road accidents. These
laws are enforced by issuing challans in the name of the offenders
and teaching them a lesson by making them pay penalties. An indicative
list of the possible offences and their respective penalties is
formulated below:

Sources of Minerals
Nutrient - Daily Amount Needed |
Information | Fruit Sources | Vegetable Sources |
Nut/Grain Sources |
Meat/Protein Sources |
Legume Sources |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Adults need 1000 mg/day. Children need 800 to 1300 mg/day. Recommended supplement: Coral Calcium Supreme |
Calcium eases insomnia and helps regulate the passage of
nutrients through cell walls. Without calcium, your muscles wouldn’t
contract correctly, your blood wouldn’t clot and your nerves wouldn’t
carry messages. If you don’t get enough calcium from the food you eat, your body automatically takes the calcium needed from your bones. If your body continues to tear down more bone than it replaces over a period of years in order to get sufficient calcium, your bones will become weak and break easily. Deficiency may result in muscle spasms and cramps in the short term and osteoporosis. |
Most fruits contain some calcium, these have a bit more than usual: Blackberries Blackcurrants Dates Grapefruit Mulberries Orange Pomegranate Prickly Pears |
Most vegetables contain some calcium, these have a bit more than usual: Amaranth leaves Bok Choy Brussels Sprouts Butternut squash Celery Chinese Broccoli French Beans Kale Okra Parsnip Spirulina Swiss Chard Turnip |
Almonds Amaranth Brazil Nuts Filberts/Hazelnuts Oats Pistachios Sesame Seeds Wheat - Durum Wheat - Hard White |
Meat and Proteins: Cheddar Cheese Cottage Cheese Cream Cheese Cows Milk Eggs Caviar Perch Pollock Sardines Goat Milk Goat Cheese Soy Beans Yogurt Sour Cream Lowfat Yogurt |
Edamame
Navy Beans Soy Beans White Beans Winged Beans |
The estimated safe and adequate intake for copper is 1.5 - 3.0 mg/day. Many survey studies show that Americans consume about 1.0 mg or less of copper per day |
Copper is involved in the absorption, storage and metabolism of iron and the formation of red blood cells. It also helps supply oxygen to the body. The symptoms of a copper deficiency are similar to iron-deficiency anemia. | Most fruits contain a small amount of copper, but kiwi fruit has a significant amount. Avocado Blackberries Dates Guava Kiwi Fruit Lychee Mango Passionfruit Pomegranate |
Most vegetables have some copper, but Lima Beans have a significant amount. Amaranth leaves Artichoke French Beans Kale Lima Beans Parsnip Peas Potatoes Pumpkin Spirulina Squash - Winter Sweet Potato Swiss Chard Taro |
Most nuts contain a trace amount of copper. Brazil Nuts Buckwheat Cashews Chestnuts Filberts/Hazelnuts Oats Sunflower Seeds Walnuts Wheat - Durum Wheat - Hard Red |
Most proteins contain a trace amount of copper. Beef Cheddar Cheese Perch Salmon Sardines Goat Cheese Soy Beans Soy Milk Turkey Bacon Veal Turkey Leg Roast Duck |
Adzuki Beans
Black Beans Black Eye Peas Fava Beans Edamame Garbanzo Beans Kidney Beans Lima Beans Navy Beans Pigeon Beans Pinto Beans Soy Beans Winged Beans |
Adults should get 150 mcgs per day. The children’s recommendation for iodine is 70 to 150 mcg (that is micrograms). |
Iodine helps regulate the rate of energy production and body
weight and promotes proper growth. It also promotes healthy hair,
nails, skin and teeth. In countries where iodine is deficient in the soil, rates of hypothyroidism, goiter and retarded growth from iodine deficiency are very high. In developed countries, however, because iodine is added to table salt, iodine deficiencies are rare. |
Fruits grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine. | Vegetables grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine. | Nuts grown in iodine-rich soils contain iodine. | Proteins produced in iodine-rich areas contain iodine. | Most legumes do not contain a significant amout of Iodine |
Women and teenage girls need at least 15 mg a day, whereas men can get by on 10. It is important that children get about 10 to 12 mg of iron per day, preferably from their diet. Breastfeeding is the best insurance against iron deficiency in babies. |
Most at risk of iron deficiency are infants, adolescent girls and pregnant women. Iron deficiency in infants can result in impaired learning ability and behavioral problems. It can also affect the immune system and cause weakness and fatigue. To aid in the absorption of iron, eat foods rich in vitamin C at the same time you eat the food containing iron. The tannin in non-herbal tea can hinder absorption of iron. Take iron supplements and your vitamin E at different times of the day, as the iron supplements will tend to neutralize the vitamin E. Vegetarians need to get twice as much dietary iron as meat eaters. |
While most fruits have some iron, probably the best source of iron for children is raisins, which are rich in iron. Other fruits which have a good amount of iron are: Avocado Blackberries Blackcurrant Boysenberries Breadfruit Cherries Dates Figs Grapes Kiwi Lemon Loganberries Lychee Mulberries Passion Fruit Persimmon Pomegranate Raspberries Strawberry Watermelon |

Folate and folic acid are both forms of B9. Folate occurs naturally in fresh foods, whereas folic acid is the synthetic form found in supplements. Your body needs folate to produce red blood cells, as well as components of the nervous system. It helps in the formation and creation of DNA and maintaining normal brain function, and is a critical part of spinal fluid. It has also been proven to reduce the risk for an NTD-affected (neural tube defect) pregnancy by 50 to 70 percent. Folic acid is vital for proper cell growth and development of the embryo. That is why it is important for a woman to have enough folate/folic acid in her body both before and during pregnancy. | Avocado

Vitamin C is one of the most important of all vitamins. It plays a significant role as an antioxidant, thereby protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation. Antioxidants act to protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of the body’s metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Vitamin C has also been found by scientists to be an effective antiviral agent. | Black Currants

Vitamin D is known as the "sunshine vitamin" since it is
manufactured by the body after being exposed to sunshine. Ten to
fifteen minutes of good sunshine three times weekly is adequate to
produce the body's requirement of vitamin D. This means that we don't
need to obtain vitamin D from our diet unless we get very little
sunlight – usually not a problem for children. Vitamin D is vital to the human body as it promotes absorption of calcium and magnesium, which are essential for the normal development of healthy teeth and bones. It also helps maintain adequate levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. |

30 IU for most adults. Children need between 6-11 mg/day. (1 IU is equal to approximately .75 mg) Note: some researchers and medical experts believe that with all of the positive studies using higher doses of vitamin E, this daily recommended intake is not high enough. |
Like vitamin C, vitamin E plays a significant role as an antioxidant, thereby protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation. It is important in the formation of red blood cells and the use of vitamin K. Many women also use it to help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, and mothers use it to help heal minor wounds without scarring, as it is valued for its ability to soothe and heal broken or stressed skin tissue. | Avocado
