The "superfoods" for women

apples, berries, kiwi fruit (antioxidants)
avocados (healthy monounsaturated fatty acids)
beans (lowers cholesterol)
fatty fish like salmon, trout, tuna, herring mackarel (omega 3)
dark chocolate (flavanoids!!!) - tho sometimes I cant help but have a bit of milk/white chockies ^_^
oats (protein, potassium, magnesium...)
soy (contains phytoestrogens which may help reduce risk of breast cancer)
spinach (loaded with lutein)
walnuts (healthy fats and micronutrients)
yoghurt (probiotics/good bacteria)

I only use olive oil for cooking or salads...just good for ya =)

^mulang. we need servings of carbs and fats. good, that is.
especially kung dili ka sedentary. pero kung di ka mag exercise, sige lang lingkod ug kaon, di jud na ma utilize imong carbs.

Carbohydrates fuel muscles, and if you run, swim, cycle or dance on a regular basis, carbs are crucial for both performance and endurance. If you’re trying to lose weight, you may need to reduce your daily calorie intake, but you’ll also need to exercise, so you’ll need to eat foods that provide plenty of energy. If you try to follow a low-carbohydrate diet, you'll feel sluggish and weak. Go for a diet in which at least half of your total food intake is carbohydrates - a simple task if you follow these guidelines:
Choose foods high in complex carbohydrates, fibre and B vitamins. Why? These foods provide fuel for exercising muscles and help prevent fatigue. Base most of your meals on carbs, and if you're hungry, eat more. Top choices include:
• Bran cereals
• Potatoes
• Wholegrain and dark, heavy breads
• Wholegrain crackers
Include plenty of fruits and vegetables - at least five servings - each day. You know they are packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre. But did you know the phytochemicals and antioxidants they contain help post-exercise recovery? Here are some top choices:
• Citrus fruits (oranges, grapefruit, tangerines)
• Dark green leafy vegetables (broccoli, kale, spinach)
Aim for two to three servings of reduced fat dairy products a day. Smart choices include:
• 1/3 pint of skimmed milk
• 1 pot of plain yoghurt (flavour it with fruit to get in all your fruit servings)
• 1 slice of low-fat cheese
