Women's nutrient? 女性营养？

For overall wellness, men and women generally look for similar nutrients. When comes to certain health issues, nutrients need may be diverged for men and women. For instance, women, are more prone to heart health, menopause, bone health, and digestive health whereas men are more interested in energy/endurance, lean muscle maintenance, and prostate health. Let's take a look at women health concerns in Part 1 and second part will focus on men's health issues.


营养有男女之分吗？基本上是没什么大区别。当涉及到某些因性别引起的健康问题，就会分化为较为对男性或女性重要的营养。例如，女性，容易出现心脏健康，更年期，骨骼健康和消化系统的问题。而男性则比较注重体力/耐力，肌肉保养，和前列腺的健康。在这第1部分， 让我们来看看女性的健康关注，而男性健康问题将在第二部分出现.

Heart health, according to the American Heart Association:

• > 1 in 3 women is living with cardiovascular disease
• women die of heart disease > all forms of cancer combined
• 1 in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, and
• 1 in 3 dies of cardiovascular disease each year

心脏健康，根据美国心脏协会：

• 在3位女性当中，就有多过1位患有心血管疾病
• 女性死于心脏疾病多过于所有癌症的总合
• 每年，在31位女性当中，有1位死于乳腺癌
• 而在3位女性当中，就有1位死于心血管疾病

Ingredients that are beneficial include:

• soy protein
• phytosterols
• soluble fiber
• beta-glucans (oat, barley)
• omega-3 fatty acids

对心脏有益的营养包括：

• 大豆蛋白
• 植物固醇
• 可溶性纤维
• 贝塔-葡聚糖 （燕麦，大麦）
• 奥米加-3不饱和脂肪酸

Women experience unique stages throughout life and exposing women to special needs of nutrients, especially during pregnancy and menopause. Some facts:

• women’s iron needs are at least twice as high as in men
• rate of bone loss accelerates immediately prior to menopausal period and continues at a rate up to 10 times that of men
• the effect lasted for approximately 10 years after menopause, before returning to the rate of bone loss at 0.2–0.5% per year

女性一生中会经历不同的阶段，所以也需要不同的营养，尤其是在怀孕和更年期间。数据显示：

• 女性 对铁的需求至少是男性的两倍
• 女性的骨质流失在更年期前已加速和持续，是男性的10倍
• 骨质的流失在更年期后持续约10年，才恢复在每年 0.2-0.5％的流失率

Nutrients that is showing positive role are:

• iron
• omega-3 fatty acids - important in prenatal brain and eye development, help support growth of the developing fetus
• soy isoflavone - aid in menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and bone maintenance
• calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus - bone structure and strength
• calcium and vitamin D - bone development and maintenance
• vitamin K-2 - new studies suggest in optimizing body’s utilization of calcium
• prebiotics (such as inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and polydextrose) - to enhance mineral absorption

有帮助的营养包括：

• 铁质
• 奥米加-3不饱和脂肪酸 - 有助于胎儿的大脑和眼睛和健康的发育
• 大豆异黄酮 - 援助更年期症状，比如潮热，保持健康的骨骼
• 钙，镁和磷 - 保护骨骼结构和强韧度
• 钙和维生素D - 骨骼的生长和保持骨骼健康
• 维生素K-2 - 新研究显示可提高身体对钙质的运用率
• 益生元（如菊粉，低聚果糖（FOS）和聚右旋糖） - 提高矿物质的吸收
