Consumer Health: Can chocolate really be good for you?
November 1, 2020

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And eating a heart-healthy diet is one lifestyle strategy to prevent heart disease.

Healthy chocolate sounds like a dream come true, but a growing number of studies suggest that it can be a heart-healthy choice. Most commercial chocolate has ingredients that add fat, sugar and calories, though, so too much can contribute to weight gain — a risk factor for high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.

Learn more from Katherine Zeratsky, a Mayo Clinic registered dietitian nutritionist, about making chocolate part of your healthy diet.

Roisin Ingle: It’s beyond me why people like @maeveorourke – experts in human rights law – are dismissed as wrong & worse in some political/media circles. Is what she says incorrect?

– experts in human rights law – are dismissed as wrong & worse in some political/media circles. Is what she says incorrect? Or is there an ‘under the carpet’ Irish way of doing things we must protect at all costs? #UnsealTheArchive

BRIDGING: one of a physiotherapist’s staple exercises

BRIDGING
This is the one of a physiotherapist’s staple exercises, if in doubt…bridge 😂
Often when children are growing, they come up against muscle imbalances, which can lead to aches and pains. A great way to protect the body from these is by keeping a good strong core!
A tip my top #pilates friend showed me was rolling the spine up and down, like a Mexican wave 👋🏽! Go follow @excellencepilates @excellence_physio for much more specialist knowledge than I can offer 😁

HOW TO INCORPORATE INTO PLAY
Get some lovely little cars or animals on one side of your child, and help them create a BRIDGE (!) so you can drive those little toys under their bottom!
….a traffic jam can always help you keep their bottom up for little longer 😏
