    is it just me that thinks your name suits the above post?

    Cool 10 best foods for women

    Maybe, instead of coffee, we can consider some of these:

    10. Greens, Greens Good for the Heart (And other parts, too!) If you were force-fed vegetables as a child, you might be turned off greens – but these beleaguered and overlooked veggies offer an amazing amount of magnesium, calcium and potassium. And let's not forget the cancer-fighting phytochemicals, too! Add spring greens to a winter salad, stir curly kale into a hearty sausage and bean soup or try something new like chard to add colour to a pasta dish.

    9. Bulgur is Better! Bulgur wheat is cracked whole wheat. The higher fibre content on this type of wheat helps you feel fuller for longer and can help prevent constipation, colon and breast cancers. It can also reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease. A versatile grain, it can be made into hot cereal or a delicious Tabbouleh with tomato, lemon juice and loadsa herbs!

    8. A Head of the Pack! Cabbage is an astonishing source of beta carotene and folate. Bok choy too, enjoys the same benefits. Who knew that choosing a simple cabbage could make such a difference nutrient-wise? Folate is an important nutrient for preventing birth defects, as well as possibly protecting the body from cancer and heart disease, too.

    7. Berry Interesting! Fibre-filled and packed with vitamin C, berries can help prevent cataracts and reduce the risk of infection because of their antioxidant rich properties. A 100g serving of strawberries has 77 milligrams of vitamin C. That's twice as much vitamin C then you’ll get from the same serving of grapefruit.

    6. Guac This Way! Avocadoes have been ditched by dieters for a long time. The high fat content of one avocado may send shivers up a low fat dieter’s spine, but besides being an excellent source of folate and potassium, avocado's strength comes from its fat. The monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid found in avocadoes, can actually improve cholesterol levels in the body and help control diabetes. The fibre content is impressive too. One avocado has more fibre than a Weetabix biscuit!

    5. Just Beet It! Pickled, boiled, roasted or in cake (yes cake...think carrot cake with beetroot!) beetroot has a definite place on everyone's plate. Beetroot are best when it comes to protecting against cancer and helping to build iron stores. They're big on folate, a B vitamin women can't get enough of - folate protects against birth defects. Grated into a salad or a hidden in fajitas (so the kids won't see them) there are easy ways to stay neat with beets.

    4. Go Bananas! One lovely banana can help reduce blood pressure and relieve heartburn. How appealing is that? The fact is we eat an average of 27 pounds of bananas a year and that's no bad thing. You almost can't eat enough potassium-rich foods. And as far as tryptophan-rich foods go (a protein that converts to serotonin) bananas may help with depression. That certainly makes bananas one of the best of the bunch.

    3. Tea Time! Skip the hob nobs and you may be on to something. Both green tea and black tea contain flavonoids that have excellent antioxidant properties. Studies have shown that regular tea consumption (up to three cups a day) decreases the risk of heart disease and stroke. A bonus to dieters: other studies have also shown tea to block some of the effects of fats after a heavy meal.

    2. Mushroom Cloud! Mushrooms contain two important B vitamins: niacin and riboflavin. Both of these nutrients help your body form the enzymes needed to help the body metabolise more efficiently. ****ake mushrooms, found in both dried and fresh form, are a little more exotic than plain white button mushrooms, but are amazing immune boosting fungi. So much so that some scientists are testing ****akes against the HIV virus. One warning about mushrooms: in their raw state, they can contain toxins or carry salmonella. But cooked, they are a dieters dream with only 13 calories in 100g!

    1. Hold the Onions! Hold them dear to your heart, that is. These lovelies have enough power to help raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels while lowering blood pressure. Feeling stuffy? Onions help relieve congestion and make breathing a little easier. Onion poultices were common treatment for colds in the old days. The very thing that makes your eyes water with onions (sulphur) have anti-inflammatory properties, too, making onions a natural healer as well.

    Good God. I'm surprised they didn't include grass in all that rabbit food. I rather stay with the manly diet.

    This is a really hard thread to jump in on D:

    I worked in a coffee shop for a little while in highschool. The best drink, hands down: white chocolate mocha with almond flavoring, topped with whipped cream laced with chocolate and caramel sauce.
