Walk In Bathtubs – Some of the Benefits May Surprise You

This is a guest post about walk in bathtubs. I’ve always thought they were older folks who had trouble getting around, but after looking at them, they look like fun! Check this out:

Did you realize that walk in bathtubs have more benefits than just having the door in the side? If you’re used to thinking of a walk in bathtub as being something that is only for people with mobility issues, you may be interested in some of the following facts. Read more

Eat Anti Aging Chocolate To Lose Weight?

Can eating chocolate help you lose weight? According to MS Apothocary, their new anti aging chocolate can also help you shed pounds. Their Tru Chocolate product is sugar-free, dairy-free, organic, vegetarian-friendly, Certified Kosher (OK), and rich in antioxidants.One piece of their chocolate is 36 calories. Okay, let’s dissect…

Being sugar-free is important. Sugar creates glycation in the body which can speed up aging and of course, is bad for diabetics. Their chocolate is sweetened with xylitol, a sweetner which does not produce insulin in the body.

Dairy free is important if you are lactose intolerant. Most dark chocolate does not have much dairy in it anyway.

Rich in antioxidants? Sure – but so is most dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has a very high ORAC rating ( a way of measuring antioxidant value). I don’t think the Tru Chocolate product is any higher than most good dark chocolate.

I did get excited when I read this: “Clients who initially tested the chocolate reported being “satisfied” after consuming only half of their normal meal. Another die-hard group of chocolate customers reported a decrease in their late-night cravings while a third group found themselves dropping their habitual tendencies to subconsciously stress eat which included a regular rendezvous with the perpetual office candy jar.”

That sounds pretty good, although no one mentioned how it tastes. So I clicked on over to their website and ….YIKES!  $200.43 for 6 bags!! $21.50 for a bag of 15 pieces! There doesn’t seem to be a way to buy just one bag to test it.

I think I’ll stick with my Trader Joe’s Organic 73% Super Dark Chocolate.  It’s only $2.99 a bar and I get 12 pieces. I’m very good about eating only ONE small square a night. One square is only 45 calories.

I can’t say it’s helped me lose any weight, but I haven’t gained any either and I do feel I’m eating a fairly healthy chocolate.

If anyone tries the Tru Chocolate and loses weight – please let us know!! Wouldn’t that be a great way to start the New Year’s resolution? Eat chocolate and lose weight!

For the rest of us, it’s back to reality….diet and exercise…

Grounding – An Old (New)Way To Anti Age

I wrote a post on my other blog about barefoot grounding I thought you should read. Grounding or “earthing” is a fairly new science, although getting in touch (literally) with nature has been around forever. Read more
