By Ian Lee Chocolate is a staple of Valentine's Day, and for good reason. It's a sinfully sweet treat, of course, but it also contains flavonoids, a type of antioxidant that has been shown to have health benefits for the very target of Cupid's arrow—the heart.

Take a look at tips to avoid highly processed foods and snack healthy.
By Ian Lee, Health Castle February is National Snack Foods Month. However, many of the items we think of as traditional snack foods are highly processed and loaded with sodium and fat and are bad choices for a healthy diet, especially for kids. According to dietitian Gloria Tsang, author of the new book Go UnDiet: 50 Small Actions for Lasting Weight Loss and founder of nutrition network HealthCastle, highly processed snack foods are a key cause of our growing obesity epidemic—even those that claim to be diet-friendly, low in sugar or fat-free. "Snack foods have been engineered to the point that they no longer resemble real food," Tsang said in a press release. "Then the packages are covered in claims to make them sound healthy and diet-…
