I think that a thread about health tips that we have overheard or read lately could be posted here, just to give others tips etc..

I was reading a health magazine and I came across what I though was kind of interesting..
Drinking cocoa can actually lower the risk of serious illness. Researchers found a nutrient in cocoa called epicatechin that can lower risk of everything from stroke and heart disease to cancer and diabetes..

Great idea!

I am a member of Healia communities, is anyone else on it? I love it because I can go there and talk to and ask questions to other community members as well as health professionals about any health issues I am experiencing or concerned about. The community members on Healia are helpful - there is a new point system on the site to promote high quality information exchange, so community members are recognized for the help they are providing to others, which I think is really nice, because they are so helpful.
I recommend Healia communities as my health tip of the day, I find it both helpful and useful.

It really is, I like it! I read an article calling it the Yahoo! Answers for health. There is great information on Healia communities and I like that everyone is there helping each other!
