Study after study reinforces the delicious idea that eating chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is good for you (in moderation, of course). One reason is that cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate, is packed with antioxidants called polyphenols. The higher the percentage of cocoa in a bar, the higher the concentration of polyphenols. Polyphenols will help fight inflamation in the body, in turn, helping relieve arthritis pain. This recipe, made with cocoa powder, will let you reap the health benefits of dark chocolate without its bitter taste or extra fat or sugar. You can reduce Inflammation by EATING HEALTHY! Health Tip
Patient Success Spotlight
“On the advice and recommendation of my doctor I scheduled my PT at Outpatient Physical Therapy-Kent Easthill location. I was amazed and was extremely impressed.. My therapist was very informative, answered all my questions, and was considerate of past injuries that somewhat hampered my recovery process. The PT, while challenging, was very effective, and true to his word, my therapist had me ready to roll come tip-off. The layout of the clinic is very open and modern. Several private rooms as well as an open area complete with HD LCD TV. I was even able to watch the World Cup while receiving electro-stimulus, and ice treatment. Though I only used 1-2 of the machines, it seems like they had something for everyone (including a Wii Fit!) The front office staff was personable, professional, and very accomodating in their scheduling. They handled a last minute cancellation of mine and got me in the next day no problem. All in all, it was a great experience, if I ever have to come back (knock on wood), I won’t hesitate to choose Outpatient PT.” “Professional, effective, great people and convenient!!!” www.simpleset.net ABDOMINAL BRACING Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on floor.
