eDiets.com - News - tip of the day: "Health and Diet
Make this year’s Valentine’s Day gift heart-healthy. If you give chocolate, make it dark chocolate, not milk chocolate. Dutch researchers indicate that dark chocolate contains four times the amount of catechin antioxidants as black tea (which is thought to be protective against heart disease and possibly cancer due to its antioxidant properties). So, indulge occasionally, but make it dark chocolate.

Fitness
A little sweat is a good thing, but you don’t want to keel over from heat exhaustion when you’re exercising outdoors in warm weather. Keep the heavy sweats in the drawer. Wear light colored, loose fitting clothing made of absorbent fabrics that wick away sweat. Wear UVA and UVB protection sunscreen with a factor of 15 or higher. Wear a breathable hat. Freeze a plastic bottle half full with water and top it up with water for the workout. And stop if you feel dizzy."
