Interesting story about Study that was published about 2 years ago, and that received lots of media exposure.

The study explored the relation between how often people eat chocolate, their energy intake and their Body Mass Index.

And you probably already know that Body Mass Index or BMI is a measure for the degree of overweight or obesity.

The study was done in 1000 adult men and women that were recruited to participate in the study examining the side effects of statin drugs.

To assess the frequency of chocolate consumption subjects responded to the question:

how many times a week do you consume chocolate?

The energy intake was estimated using the so-called food frequency questionnaire that looked at total food consumption.

Now what was interesting is that the researcher found that the more often people ate chocolate, the higher their energy intake, which of course makes perfect sense, but the lower their Body Mass Index or body weight.

So let me repeat this, the more often people ate chocolate, the lower their degree of overweight.

So the authors concluded that although frequent chocolate consumption increases energy intake it does not lead to weight gain.

Really? Do you believe it?

The authors of the studies admit that their study has limitations, which may explain their highly curious results.

Unfortunately those new nuances are completely lost in the press release of UC San Diego where the study was done, which among other things, says, and I quote:

“ In the case of chocolate this is good news, both for those who have a regular chocolate habit and those who may wish to start one”.

Those who may wish to start one? Are you kidding me?

Is UC San Diego insinuating that picking up a chocolate habit may be actually a good idea?

Because it may make you thinner?

If the press office of UC San Diego was already doing such a bad job, how can we expect other news channels to be more accurate?

Indeed BBC news wrote that chocolate may help keep people slim.

Whereas CBS news reported that eating lots of chocolate helps people stay thin.

What is surprising is that Elle magazine, of all sources, was actually the most responsible by including the disclaimer, “But before you reach for that mars bar remember chocolate bars contains high levels of fat and sugar”.

So it’s best to stick to a little dark chocolate now and again to reap these possible benefits.

And what I want to convey with this little story is that there is plenty of bad science out there.

And it’s very hard to figure out what is solid and what is shaky.

You definitely shouldn’t believe everything you read or hear.

How to choose right chocolate.

It's not so easy, a word of warning, most cocoa powder and commercial chocolate is processed via the "Dutch method" meaning it is subjected to scorching temperatures of up to 150°C with the additional aid of solvents, thus destroying most of the nutrients and antioxidants. Be sure to attain certified organic raw cacao in a powder, nib or whole bean form as the temperature will have never been allowed to exceed 40°C thus allowing all the heat-sensitive vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to remain intact.

Select chocolate products that are certified organic so that you can be sure they aren’t genetically engineered (GE).

The stability ball is one of the best pieces of in any gym: When you do exercises on it, it creates so much instability that it forces your smaller, stabilizing muscles to work harder to keep you steady and still. Over time, that increases the stretch and endurance of those muscles for better movement patterns and injury prevention.

Our culture encourages addictive eating.
The food industry is chiefly concerned with selling its products, which means promoting the more popular, addictive foods - mostly processed products which contain the bad fats, sugar, wheat and salt - rather than health. “Health” is a good marketing strategy, but is rarely, if ever, much more than that.

Advertising and availability make addictive food seem a normal and natural part of everyday life. As a result, a great many of us have become confused about food, unable to appreciate or even care about the essential difference between a bag of crisps and an apple, for example.

Sometimes it seems that situations encourage us to eat. Food now is so available and it’s everywhere. But remember that every bite counts. You don’t have to snack just bc you can!

Your nutrition has to be balanced and food that you are eating is your energy source.

So, be aware in what situations you don’t have to eat:
🔸For the company, If you don’t want to eat at that moment.
🔸Do not eat the leftovers from your child / husband, etc. plates.
🔸When you’re bored.
🔸Eat - not to waste, remember that you’re not a trash bin.
🔸Eat food, as an attribute.” Watch and Snack....”
