You are what you eat, right? Since women have unique nutritional needs, like extra calcium and iron, it is important to address those differences through healthy whole foods.

If you need a little help knowing what the best foods are, Nursing Degree has put together a comprehensive list of the 100 best foods for women. What's nice about this list is:

• these are foods that are good for everyone, so we can serve them to our families.
• the list is segmented into categories: foods for overall health, bone health, skin health, weight loss, antioxidants, and other nutritional focuses.
• there are a variety of choices under each category, so you can pick and choose the foods you like.
• dairy is not stressed as the best food source for bone health, which is great for those who are allergic to dairy or simply don't believe it is a healthy food.

I love this list! Truly, Alissa Miller is someone who really understands healthy eating, moderation, and variety. Sometimes it's hard to find an article about healthy foods that doesn't include low-fat junk, artificial sweeteners, and prepackaged "natural" foods. This list is for those of us who value whole food nutrition.
