9 Health Benefits of Chocolate

Superfoods don't just come from your supermarket's produce aisle. In fact those chocolate candy bars next to the gummy bears now qualify. Study after study proves that dark chocolate—sweet, rich, and delicious—is good for more than curing a broken heart. The secret behind its powerful punch is cacao, also the source of the sweet's distinct taste. Packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, this little bean is a disease-killing bullet. The only problem? Cacao on its own is bitter, chalky, nasty stuff. Enter milk, sugar, and butter—good for your taste buds, not always good for your health. Besides adding calories, these can dilute the benefits of cacao. So snack smart: Stick to healthy chocolate with at least 70 percent cacao (or cocoa, which is cacao in its roasted, ground form). As long as the content is that high, says Mary Engler, Ph.D., a professor of physiological nursing at the University of California at San Francisco, you can reap the be...

10 Incredible Things Women Wear That Men Hate

-

1. Wear shoes that you can walk in … “Wearing heels that you can’t walk in is a dealbreaker. I’m not taking you out for play-pretend model time, this is NYC and you will be expected to be able to walk from the table to the door without a pulley system or guide rail.” — Evan, 25




2. … with the exception of Uggs … “Uggs. They’re ugly, the shape is ugly, it looks like you’re wearing eskimo shoes. It’s not sexy. Seriously, wear anything but Uggs, especially when it’s warm out!” — Matthew, 35

 3. … and make sure that your shoes actually fit. “When girl’s toes come out over their shoes, it’s disgusting. Even if she’s a dime, if I see those toes spilling out, it’s all over. Buy the right size.” — Ray, 26

 4. Avoid hair accessories that make you look like a sea creature. “I can’t stand those thin headbands that girls always wear to music festivals. They always end up getting pushed up and make their hair look like a jelly fish or something. I just can’t dig that weird look.” — Reed, 24

 5. Make sure your top stays on your body. “Tube tops! Small-chested women can get away with tube tops, but large-chested women spend the entire night lifting up the tube top. It’s not flattering.” — Remy, 25

 6. Show off your curves! “I hate those high-waisted shorts that suck you in and make you look like you have no figure. I want to see your curves! They remind me too much of mom jeans.” — Carl, 40 “Baggy pants. They leave too much to chance. Like—what are you hiding under there? They are just not attractive.” — Timmy, 26

 7. Less isn’t always more. “Obviously a girl needs to dress up for a date to spark some allure, but it’s frustrating to go out with someone who draws the attention of everyone in the bar in a skimpy outfit. I’m not saying she should cover her wrists and ankles, but a bandeau and sheer skirt significantly increase the chances that I’ll come back from the bathroom to find a gin-soaked creeper in her face running his weak game.” — Max, 27

 8. Mind the gap. “If I’m walking behind a girl and her G String is all the way up her back, it’s a turnoff. There is a way to do this tastefully, like a sneak peak, but once it’s all up and out there it’s not sexy anymore.” — AJ, 39

 9. Don’t be ironic. “If you’ve got a flat booty, don’t wear those sweat pants that say ‘Juicy’ …'” — Steven, 35

Just when you think it was cool to show your little one some TLC, here comes the fun police. As much as you want to love up on your kid, experts now say kissing your child on the mouth is bad because it's "too sexual." if you can stop laughing for a second, you'll see that Dr. Charlotte Reznick, author of The Power of Your Child's Imagination: How to Transform Stress and Anxiety Into Joy And Success, is trying to be serious. She believes a "kiss on the lips can be stimulating" and that might confuse a child. Dr. Reznick even goes as far to remind us how lips are an erogenous zone. "If mommy kisses daddy on the mouth and vice versa, what does that mean, when I, a little girl or boy, kiss my parents on the mouth?" Dr. Charlotte questions.  So what's a parent supposed to do when their child walks up (or stumbles, depending on their current level of coordination) and tries to plant one on the kisser? Do some funky Matrix move or swat ...

8 Qualities Woman Has that Her Man Can’t Just Resist!

Ladies, if you’re interested in having a quality relationship with your man, or finding a man to have a quality relationship with, read on! Always remember that men and women are different. So to attract a man, and keep him, it is imperative that you understand men (especially your own man!). As mentioned in the book, Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, many women are clueless about how men think. A man desires a woman he can respect and trust- a woman of good character and integrity. Depending upon your goal and behavior, you can become for him the “marrying type” or the “plaything”.  Men are more likely to fall in love with a modest woman – modest in behavior, dress, and in the way she talks. They may lust after the “hot” woman, but she is not likely to be the one to meet his mom.  A smile is always an excellent start to any relationship. So, if smiling does not come naturally to you, start practicing and perfecting your smile. Your intent will show too, so pract...
