Interesting Chocolate Facts By Brian K. Rosso Chocolate is a food enjoyed by most people, especially at Valentine s Day. Here are some interesting facts about chocolate: Chocolate is a great source of antioxidants, which have been shown to reduce a person s risk of developing cancer and heart disease. Snickers is the No. 1 selling chocolate bar in the world. Eating dark chocolate in moderation can lower a person s cholesterol levels. Americans prefer milk chocolate over dark chocolate; however, the consumption of dark chocolate is increasing. Try to eat dark chocolate containing at least 40 percent cacao (will be stated on the chocolate candy wrapper) for the most health benefits. The first United States chocolate factory was built in Chocolate can be deadly to dogs. The average American eats 12 pounds of chocolate every year. Once chocolate is made, it can be kept for one year. One tablespoon of cocoa powder contains 10 percent of the daily requirement for iron intake. The first chocolate candy bar was made in Chocolate is made from cacao beans. However, the cacao bean is actually a seed. Cacao beans were so valuable at one time in Mexico that they were used for currency. Chocolate can offer some health benefits, but it should be eaten in moderation because of the calories associated with the fat and sugar content. Happy Valentine s Day!

Make sure to thoroughly scrub for at least 15 seconds. If you don t have soap & water nearby, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Cover coughs & sneezes. To prevent contaminating the air, always cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. For best results, cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your elbow to protect your hands from germs. Stay home. Flu easily spreads in large groups. Although it isn t a guaranteed way to escape the flu, you can reduce your risk of contracting it if you avoid crowds during the peak flu season. Transport Driver CLAUDIA CARNEY is available Monday Friday. You must call her at (586) to set up your appt. time. Winter Workouts Can Keep You Cozy Chilly winter days provide a good excuse to stay wrapped up under a blanket. But that s even more reason to get moving and exercise. Even 20 minutes of working out can warm you up and keep you warm well after the session is over. Join us for Strength Training on Mondays and Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. or Chair Dancing on Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. in the Atrium!
