What to eat in your 30s

A little while ago, Jonathon posted on things you should be eating in your 20s. What if you're in your 30s? Should you have the same diet? As long as you're eating a healthy, balances diet, it shouldn't matter much, but there are a few things you should concentrate on getting, like:
  • Folate: It's found in leafy greens, and it's especially important if you're considering getting pregnant in your 30s.
  • Phytonutrients: These antioxidants can help protect your heart and have even been shown to prevent cancer
  • Iron: Feeling drained? Get more iron. Women in their 30s are more susceptible to anemia. Lean red meat, chickpeas, potato skins and beans all have iron, and don't forget the Vitamin C -- it's crucial to Iron absorption.
