Women are winning the battle of the sexes where good health and nutrition is concerned. It seems that men attach less importance to health when selecting their diet compared with women. Nutritional concerns for men relate to over consumption of foods and beverages, rather than a shortage of nutrients as seen in women. Men and women alike should be aware of their unique set of nutritional needs and health concerns to stay healthy and prevent disease.
