Fat-free Chocolate???

That's right, fat-free chocolate! Thanks to the researchers from the University of Warwick, a report has been submitted for a "healthier fruit juice infused chocolate confectionery." This simply means a form of fruit juice will be infused with the chocolate mixture, creating chocolate that without the fat. According to the researcher, Stefan Bon, the fat contained in the chocolate is what gives the smooth texture. With the fruit juice, the chocolate still retains its consistency but is more healthy for the consumer. Researchers also found that by adding vitamin C solution instead of the juice, the fruity taste would be removed thus tasting like the same chocolaty taste we've all come to love. Hopefully this variation of chocolate will make its way to the market because we'll be in line waiting to purchase ours!

TGIF

As the weekend unravels, remember to make time for your loved ones, friends,etc. Start your day off with some of the tips provided in our last blog entry. Above all, get some R&R!

Rev Up Your Morning Routine

Take a second to think about your morning routine, before you eat breakfast. Now think of how your morning routine affects your energy level as you proceed to completing your tasks for the day. 

According to the book "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast" starting your day with a productive or fulfilling activity can increase your alertness and energy level for the rest of the day. Author Laura Vanderkam found that many high achievers often began their day with physical, spiritual, and intellectual activities. These include praying, meditation such as yoga, running, or spending time with the family during breakfast. 

Not sure how to break from your current routine? Vanderkam suggests the following steps: tracking your time and taking note of how your routine affects your energy level, envisioning your day starting off on a good note then making it happen, and starting off small until you develop the habit.

Having a good day doesn't have to depend on the weather, on the attitude of others, or even the universe. All you need to do is follow these simple steps and you'll be on your way to having more great days.

So far the Olympics have proved to be quite entertaining and filled with memorable moments. Hopefully the rest of the days left are filled with even more awesome events.
