Chocolate: Is It Really a Heart-Smart Treat? |
|
|
It wasn't too long ago that chocolate was considered about as healthy as a stick of butter. Not anymore. Chocolate has acquired quite a reputation as a not-so-sinful sweet indulgence. And though it may seem too good to be true, research does show that one type of chocolate is rich not only in flavor but also in the same protective antioxidants found in apples, grapes, green tea, and red wine. 
Before you can determine what diet and exercise work best for you, it's best to make a couple of quick calculations. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) gives you an idea of where you are compared to others in your height/weight range, while your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) tells you how many calories you naturally burn each day.
With these numbers, you can determine how many calories you need to burn each day for safe, healthy weight loss.

It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit.
