Liz is feeling sad about her health. She starts to occupy her mind with full thoughts of her health problems. She said to herself, I have lost a lot of blood recently, and I need a supplement. Who is going to give me money to get one? I'm feeling weak internally; I need help urgently. She glanced at her purse. Oh my gosh, it is empty. I need to do something about my financial struggles. “If only I had enough resources,” she said to herself; the weight of her situation kept pressing her down.
As she sat there, she quickly thought of her relationship with all her female friends, and she thought about calling one of them for help. She said to herself, Shizy has been with me through thick and thin; let me call her for help." She picked up her phone and dialed her friend's phone number several times. After a few rings, her friend answered, and Liz explained her situation: I need money to buy my supplement, dear Shizy, her voice sounding afraid with vulnerability. Wondering if her friend will help her with any amount of money.
Her friend, hearing her story, said without hesitation, “I’ll send you some money right away. Just get what you need to feel better,” she said, her tone warm and reassuring.
Liz screamed, Thank you so much, my friend. She felt a lot of relief, happy she would have funds to buy her supplement. With the funds from her friend, she quickly wrote a list of the supplements she needed to replenish her strength.
After hanging up, Liz felt hope again. So let me ask you now:
What if you were Liz, with no friend to rely on, what would you have done? How would you buy your supplements?
This is why I want to tell you about 5 healthy food alternatives to supplements that women can take to help replenish lost nutrients and boost overall health:
1. Leafy Greens: This is what you don't know: spinach, kale, and Swiss chard are packed with iron; it can help you recover, and it helps replenish blood vessels. So what if you have lost blood? Can it replenish your blood levels? The answer is yes.
2. Legumes: Do you know legumes can be a good alternative to supplements if you’re not financially buoyant? And as women, taking beans, lentils, and chickpeas is a good source of protein and iron. They are also high in fiber, which can help your body in case you're feeling weak. And if you need to replenish all the nutrients you have lost.
3. Nuts and Seeds: To take nuts and seeds is to improve your well-being. How will you be feeling internally and extremely if you're a woman who loves to take almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds? Do you know your health and body will function optimally? It is the truth.
Nuts and seeds are rich in healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. They can help you recover nutrients and blood you have lost.
4. Quinoa: Amino acids can help the health of women. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s also high in iron and magnesium; it can replenish lost nutrients in women.
5. Berries: Why are women always crying over a lack of resources for supplements? Supplements can be way too expensive, and I also understand that. What if I tell you there are alternatives? Berries, strawberries, and raspberries are good alternatives; in fact, they are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Berries can help reduce inflammation and support your immune system as a woman, which is crucial during recovery.
