Low fat diets benefit women's health?

A balanced diet is the basis of Women’s Health. Women, like men, should enjoy a variety of nutritious foods from all of the food’s groups, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, low-fat or fat-free dairy and lean protein. But women also have unique nutrient needs, and, during each stage of a woman's life needs change.

Eating Right:

Nutrient-rich foods provide energy for women's busy lives and help to decrease the risk of disease. A healthy eating plan regularly includes:

· Complete grains such as whole-grain bread, whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat cereal flakes, brown rice or oats.

· Three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products containing milk, yogurt or cheese; or calcium-fortified plant-based alternatives.

· Protein such as lean meat, seafood, eggs, beans, poultry, lentils, tofu, nuts and seeds.

· Fresh, canned or frozen fruits without added sugar can be included in the regular diet.

· Fresh, canned or frozen vegetables without added salt.

Women who take a low-fat diet plan could improve the health and lifespan of women who have received a diagnosis of breast cancer. Postmenopausal women took low-fat dietary intervention that also aimed for higher intakes of vegetables, fruits, and grains.

After following a low-fat diet following results has been found:

1. Women who had experienced breast cancer and who followed a low-fat diet "with a corresponding increase in vegetables, fruit, and grains" were 15–35% less likely to die from any cause.

2. Women in the low-fat diet group were 13–25% less likely to develop insulin-dependent diabetes.

3. The women who did not have high blood pressure or a history of cardiovascular disease at the beginning of the study was 15–30% less likely to develop coronary heart disease.

The role of nutrition in overall health suggest that low-fat diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and grains have health benefits without any noticed adverse effects.
