Walk to Crush a Chocolate Craving!
Chocolate eliminates the body's ability to assimilate calcium, which is not good for us ladies.
Here’s how to quickly and easily crush a craving for chocolate: Use your feet.
Literally. A walk worked wonders for a small group of chocoholics. When compared with a couch-potato group, the chocoholics experienced a major drop in chocolate cravings after only 15 minutes of putting one foot in front of the other.
Also, a craving for chocolate is a lack of magnesium so if you will take some cal/mag supplements, you won't have the craving to begin with!

Are You Cleaning?
Health Tip of the Day

Dirty wet buckets can be a breeding
ground for bacteria. After you use
a bucket to clean your house, empty
it and wash it with a little bleach
or rubbing alcohol and dry well. This
will prevent spreading bacteria around
your home the next time you clean.
