Consumption of nuts have been found to reduce insulin resistance, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, inflammation, and total cholesterol.
.
Nuts play an invaluable role in providing nutrients, particularly minerals.

Smashing goals. Today I hit 300 days in a row of beating activity, exercise, and standing/movement goals. Proud of myself. In the past, 5-7 days was a massive achievement... Onwards and upwards!

Omega-3 improves metabolic profile in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
A 6 month study found that Omega-3 increased HDL-cholesterol and reduced LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides. Waist circumference was significantly lower in the omega-3 group as compared to the placebo group.
.
Studies have shown that omega-3 PUFA can reduce cardiovascular risk, reduce platelet activation and aggregation, improve lipid profiles, including reduction of triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein, decrease inflammation, reduce thrombin generation, reduce blood pressure, and increase high-density lipoprotein levels and vascular relaxation.

Chocolate is amazing!
.
Studies indicate that chocolate has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiplatelet, antithrombotic, anti-atherogenic, and vasodilatory properties. .
Chocolate has been found to modulate glucose metabolism and can reduce endothelial dysfunction, blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic), inflammation, C-reactive protein, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and atherogenesis. .
Chocolate can also improve lipid profile by decreasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and oxidised LDL cholesterol, and increasing high-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
.
Additionally, chocolate can improve flow-mediated dilatation insulin sensitivity, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Chocolate has also been associated with overall better health, optimism, feeling happier and less lonely, and having better psychological well-being.
.
Chocolate consumption may improve brain function and cognition. Research has found a highly significant correlation between a nation’s per capita consumption of chocolate and the rate Nobel Prizes awarded to citizens of those countries.

ANZAC Day. Lest we forget .
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
