Chocolate is Good For You

/in , , , , , , , , , /by

Chocolate is actually good for you!There’s a reason that chocolate inspires gotta-have-it cravings for so many of us, perhaps more than any other food: It’s good for you!

“It’s actually good for your heart and also good for your blood pressure,” says Valentine Yanchou Njike, MD, MPH, of the Yale Griffin Prevention Research Center, who has researched cocoa’s effect on blood vessel function. Researchers have also found that phytochemicals in cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, may improve blood vessel function, slow blood clotting, improve insulin resistance and have protective effects against cancer.  And even though the labels say chocolate contains saturated fat, it’s actually the kind of fat that has little effect on your cholesterol levels.

The bottom line is that you don’t have to beat yourself up for craving chocolate if you enjoy it in moderation.

Here are some tips for getting a guilt-free chocolate fix.
1. Choose wisely.
How about chocolate instead of potato chips? Yes, indeed! The darker the chocolate, the more phytochemicals it contains. Because you’re eating this for pleasure.

have what you like in moderation,
2. Get a liquid fix.
Hot cocoa is another way to enjoy chocolate. Make your own using one of Caffe D’Vita’s hot cocoa or sugar free hot cocoa.
3. Savor it.
If you really love chocolate, slow down, enjoy it and savor every sip.

Four Easy Hints to Making Healthier Smoothies

/in , , /by

Smoothies are as close to a perfect meal as you can get – delicious, nutritious, and fast. They make a filling meal or snack to help your heart, pump your workout, juice your brain, or boost your mood. Smoothies are indeed the perfect quick breakfast or healthy snack. Just put a cup or so of fruit and a splash of dairy whizzed in the blender with a little ice and fruit juice.

Here are four easy fixes to make over your smoothies so they’re healthy, satisfying, and of course, delicious.

1. Freeze your fruit. Cut up chunks of peaches, plums, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pineapple and/or apricots, and then spread them out on a tray and freeze them until firm. Store in a plastic bag until you’re ready to use them. You can freeze blueberries and raspberries whole. Frozen fruit will help keep your smoothies thick and frosty.

2. Toss in some protein. Try adding whey protein to breakfast smoothies as an easy-to-digest protein that contains all the essential amino acids. Of course you can also use milk or =yogurt-non-fat, low-fat, or full-fat, it’s up to you. Try almond milk for a non-dairy alternative.

3. Add some coconut water. If you need to thin down your smoothie, forget using sugary fruit juice. Instead, try coconut water, the liquid from young coconuts, which is rich in potassium and electrolytes. You can buy coconut water prepackaged. Coconut water is incredibility refreshing by itself, too. Try it post workout.

4. Throw in an avocado. Bananas are a common addition to smoothies because they add sweetness, body and nutrients. But they’re also high in sugar. So if you’re trying to cut down on the sweet stuff or you prefer a less sweet smoothie, toss in a quarter or half an avocado, instead. You’ll get lots of potassium, B-complex vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. And while avocados are high in fat, they contain oleic and linoleic acid that are effective in lowering LDL cholesterol and increasing healthy HDL cholesterol. Plus, they’re one of the best fruits (yes, they’re a fruit) for keeping hunger pangs at bay.

Smoothies May Help Those Struggling With Obesity

/in , , , /by

Promising results were reported from a study that found that yogurt, fruit shakes, and smoothies make people feel full longer and ease the craving to over eat.

Fruit smoothies provide people with a full feeling after consuming. With that sense of fullness and hunger-satisfaction, people watching their weight were found to crave less food.

Overweight and obesity are primarily driven by over-availability of food and an increasing sedentary lifestyle. It is believed that reduction of casual snacking between meals and reduction in meals size due to decreased appetite will have a major impact on prevention and reduction of obesity. Fresh fruit, yogurt and smoothies in the stomach or small intestine have been shown to enhance satiety and therefore can trigger satiety.

Yogurt, fruit shakes, smoothies make people feel full longer and ease the craving to over eat. Healthy eating should be part of everyone’s lifestyle.
