The Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has been investigating the health habits of 34,000 women for nearly 20 years, named apples as one of only three foods (along with pears and red wine) that are most effective at reducing the risk of death from heart disease among postmenopausal women. Other massive studies have found the fruit to lower risk of lung cancer and type 2 diabetes—and even help women lose weight.
Eat an apple as an afternoon snack with a tablespoon of peanut butter (think protein), or add slices to sandwiches or salads.

According to the Journal of Nutrition, eating a small square of dark chocolate a few times a week will reduce your risk of a heart attack. According to the results of the research, 20 grams of dark chocolate per week, or 6.7 grams three times per week, is ideal. Research subjects who ate this amount had significantly lower blood pressure levels of C-reactive protein. Because of dark chocolate’s richness, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with much less chocolate than a milk or white chocolate, for example.
