15 Super Foods For Women Who Want To Be Smarter, Leaner, And Stronger
14. Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate, not milk chocolate, is antioxidant rich and every woman should eat it. Just a small amount of dark chocolate each day will not only satisfy that sweet tooth, but it will prevent clogged arteries, which will reduce your risk of heart disease. Dark chocolate also releases serotonin in the body, which is the feel good hormone that will stop you from feeling depressed. Dark chocolate also has numerous nutrients such as copper, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, which are all important for strong bones. All you need is a quarter to half an ounce of dark chocolate each day.
15. Almonds
You can’t beat almonds when it comes to a tasty snack. Women should try to eat one ounce (about one handful) every day. Almonds are super nutrient dense. Almonds will lower your cholesterol levels, help you sleep better, prevent heart disease, improve cognitive function, and fight cancer. Some studies have shown that women who eat almonds regularly have less belly fat. How is that for a reason to eat almonds?
