That sweet tooth for chocolate could be a healthy habit for your
heart. A new study found that habitual chocolate eaters had a lower risk
of cardiovascular disease and strokes. But don’t overdo it -- the sweet

If
you’re focused on logging 10,000 steps a day for better health, you
might be missing the mark. Experts say the 10-K standard isn’t based on
any medical evidence, and most people get barely a quarter of that each
day, so even 5,000 steps is a good starting goal. And remember that
walking alone won’t accomplish weight loss without cutting calories too.

Turning
to the Internet to diagnose your own aches and pains usually isn’t very

and healthcare websites provided the right diagnosis only about
one-third of the time. But even that was better than simply doing a
Google search of symptoms. Source Link
