52 weeks of bodily bliss... week 13: Dark chocholate, dried fruit, nuts ... Dont be nuts

I have just caught a glimpse of a report on healthy snacks, FROM VENDING MACHINE, that includes dark chocolate covered almonds, dried fruits etc. STOP right there.

If your e anything like me, I spend long hours in the grocery stores checking out things, flipping boxes, comparing labels etc.  I see so many new products with dried cranberries, blueberries covered in dark chocolate etc.  All to back up the latest craze of these items being healthy.

We need to be very careful, as these items are still quite calorie dense.  Instead of the sugary indulgences, take small steps to retrain your taste buds.  Always choose fresh fruits.   Fresh and ripe.  Chocolate?  Grab organic and over 70% coco if you like the taste.  There are ones with cayenne etc added to them, which can add variety for you :)  I find using a fondue is a great way to shake things up.

Keep enjoying your life, through enjoying better health.  Make heath your goals, and the items that make it up WILL *fall in to place*

Happy Spring !!!!
