I listen to local and national news shows as I'm getting ready for work in the mornings and over the last few mornings I've heard some fascinating health "facts": 1. your Body Mass Index isn't the best indicator of obesity. Your waist measurement is a better indicator. to be healthy a woman should have a waist measurement under 35 inches and men under 40 inches. happy to say I passed that test.
2. The idea of left brain or right brain dominance isn't really very accurate. Everybody uses both sides of their brains - that explains a lot.
3. And this is my favorite -drinking cocoa or eating chocolate in the morning can help improve brain power, especially in children and older people. Yes!! I've always been convinced that chocolate is one of the basic food groups. No information yet on how this will impact #1.
