Nowadays
women are more health conscious than what they were some decades back.
Women who are responsible for bearing children and for rearing them,
need to look after their health not only during the child bearing years
but even after that in order to prevent the onset of ailments like
breast cancer. Women are often found to neglect their health as they
cater to the needs of their family. However,
women are slowly realizing that they need to take in a wide variety of
fruits and vegetables which will provide them different vitamins and
minerals for staying healthy. Vitamins are essential chemicals which are
necessary to help the body function properly. As one ages, it is
necessary to increase the intake of vitamins not only for younger
looking skin as well as ensuring good health and a fortified immune
system.
