Chocolate May Combat Stroke Risk
Posted on 2010-02-25 06:00:00 in Functional Foods | Stroke |
"Rich in flavonoids, a potent type of antioxidant, chocolate has been found by previous studies to beneficially impact the risk of cardiovascular disease. Sarah Sahib, from McMaster University (Ontario, Canada), and colleagues analyzed various studies involving chocolate consumption to ascertain its effects on stroke risk. One study revealed an association with stroke for chocolate consumption once a week as opposed to none per week, with another study suggesting that flavonoid intake from eating chocolate weekly lowered death caused by a stroke. The team concludes that: “Higher flavonoid intake from chocolate sources may be associated with lower incident risk of stroke and stroke-related mortality"
 Great news for us chocolate lovers!, BUT it is not the milk chocolate low in cacao and high in milk fat and sugar. I get a daily dose of 100% organic cacao of 80% concentration.

I write to stay in touch.
Life is our connections and the experiences we share. Relationships and stories.

I appreciate the connection I have with my patients and my readers. I hope we can connect on Twitter, LinkedIn
or Facebook. By phone, or in person. I learn more from listening more. How about you?

I came across a a short film called VALIDATION. Just 14 mins. You can watch
it here. It beautifully exemplifies this human connection and how we are all here to make each others lives better.
It will make your day.
Just "Listen and Love" .. it's as simple as that
Share it with others and connect!

Are you confused about liposuction treatments for fat reduction?

Outpatient liposuction has become very popular because technology has allowed for effective fat reduction with minimal downtime.
The surgeon can use different tools to break down the fat and suction it out.  There is laser assisted such as SmartLipo. There is water assisted such as Water Jet. There is ultrasound assisted. Each one works for different areas and for different patients.  Remenber: "One size does not fit all",

Ideally the surgeon you choose to do your procedure should have access to all technologies, so the right one can be use for you. Ideally you should also choose a board certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. Of course, Azani Medical Spa in Bethlehem PA provides just that.: an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with access to all the cutting edge technologies. And we are offering $500 off any liposuction procedure for a limited time.  Please send me your questions by clicking this link Ask Dr, Monica Carezani-Gavin.  I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
