-- Healthy Dark Chocolate -- Who wouldn’t be intrigued and excited about reviewing a healthy dark chocolate (yum) that can help with weight loss? My first discussions about this review project with Jan Hrkach (CEO of True Healthy Products LLC – http://TrueHealthyProducts.com ) began on December 6 th and after some discussion, I was notified that the product was shipped out on December 10 th 2013. Product arrived here in South-Eastern BC (Canada) on Dec 20 th in a plastic envelope (recyclable) and a foil bubble envelope inside that along with a reusable cold-gel pack to prevent the chocolate from melting during shipping. I have to say that great care was put in the packaging for their product. They also took the time to include the Simple Chocolate Diet Guide (retail value $120 US), which held menu planning and great information for the nutrition novice. There seems to be a 2 step theory behind the company’s approach here – 1st: educa...

Dee Doan es is the author of the paranormal mystery fiction book, The Man With the Green Suitcase . She’s active in several charities and conducts a youth poetry workshop for the Atlanta Writers Club Youth Writing Camp, and is the former co-chair of the Writing in the Schools Program for Georgia Writers. I asked Dee to tell us a little about herself and this is what she had to say: “ I’m Dee Doanes, a writer and healthy food and healthy living enthusiast.   Most people know I’m a writer but I’m also a life-long healthy food enthusiast. Or, as some close friends call me, “a health food nut.” Writing is important but eating healthy is even more important. Without eating healthy food on a regular basis you don’t have good health, which affects everything in your life, including the creativity of a writer. It makes sense for writers to eat healthy foods to increase creativity so they can tell their wonderful tales.” www.deedoanes.com Writers Can Boost Creativity By E...

If we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies produce a hormone that causes increased hunger and another hormone that increases stress.  …Dehydration feels li...
