Stay Healthy After Miscarriage

I have seen mother buying chocolates for their kids and taking a bite from them. One of my client who is diabetic, opts for chocolates to cope up with sudden dip in sugar level (hypoglycemia) and ends up having the whole bar with an excuse of feeling weak and dizzy.

Most commonly heard are: chocolates cause acne, chocolates...
