- Soy is a high-quality protein, and one or two daily servings of soy products can be beneficial for our health. It prevents bone loss and supports their hormones. They contain less fat and helps reduce menopausal symptoms (such as hot flushes).
- It is not necessary to avoid dairy. Women in their 30s need to have a calcium-rich diet. Dairy is important if one is not intolerant of it. Cheese and yoghurt promote hormonal balance and prevent vaginal infection. Calcium, potassium, magnesium and protein from dairy not only help build strong bones but also keep our hearts healthy.

- As women prepare themselves for pregnancy and motherhood in their early 30s, Folic acid and Vitamin B12 are important nutrients for them. Women who have enough folic acid in their bodies before they get pregnant can lower their chances of having a baby with major birth defects of the spine and brain. Green leafy vegetables, eggs, citrus fruits, legumes and citrus fruits are all sources of folate. Additionally, meat is a good source of Vitamin B12
- Vitamin C and Vitamin A help reduce dark circles, delays ageing, and smoothen out wrinkles at night. In the daytime, SPF 30 is recommended.
- Throughout their life, a physical activity regimen that includes 20-30 minutes of daily cardiac activity (such as walking, running, swimming, hiking, or biking) is recommended for heart health, weight management, and stress reduction. Particularly as women get older, it may be beneficial to supplement their exercise routine with weight lifting or other strength training activities that help prevent loss of bone density and muscle mass.
