IS CHOCOLATE GOOD FOR YOUR BODY? We see it everywhere on the covers of magazines at the grocery checkout counter, TV infomercials, and billboards around town. Why is there seemingly such a demand? Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight (BMI = 25) and nearly one-third of are obese (BMI = 30). For a Body Mass Index (BMI) chart please check our link: http://laserandvein.com/smartlipo.php. Yet eating is such a wonderful part of most cultures. When we think Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Middle East, India we almost always think of the special foods from these regions. In his blog one of my esteemed colleagues Dr. Edward Lack described “eating” as one of the sensual joys of living. He described eating involving most of our senses including sight, smell, touch and taste. Yet it is when we eat in dysfunctional excess, are sedentary or our metabolism slows with aging and menopause that we note unhealthy weight gain.
