People who eat chocolate regularly tend to be thinner, new research suggests. The findings come from a study of nearly 1，000 US people that looked at diet, calorie intake and body mass index (BMI)—a measure of obesity.

It found those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it occasionally. Even though chocolate is loaded with calories, it contains components that may favour weight loss rather than fat synthesis (合成), scientists believe.

Despite boosting calorie intake, regular chocolate consumption was related to lower BMI in the study, which is published in Archives of Internal Medicine.

The link remained even when other factors, like how much exercise individuals did, were taken into account. According to the researchers, there is only one chance in 100 that their findings could be explained by chance alone.

Lead author Dr Beatrice Golomb, from the University of California at San Diego, said, “Our findings appear to add to a body of information suggesting that the composition of calories, not just the number of them, matters for determining their impact on weight.”

This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us. Other studies have claimed chocolate may be good for the heart. Consumption of certain types of chocolate has been linked to some favourable changes in blood pressure, insulin sensitivity and cholesterol level. And chocolate, particularly dark

chocolate, does contain antioxidants (抗氧化剂) which can help to wipe away harmful free radicals—unstable chemicals that can damage our cells.

However, while there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat like chocolate now and again, eating too much might be harmful because it often contains a lot of sugar and fat too. And if you are looking to change your diet, you are likely to benefit most from eating more fresh fruit and vegetables.

Slightly larger than the North Island, and much less populated, the South Island of New Zealand is well-known for its fantastic scenery and wide range of outdoor activities. Among the many places you could visit, here are some of the best known.

Marlborough Wine Region

The largest wine area in New Zealand (producing more than half of New Zealand's wine), Marlborough is home to New Zealand's most famous wine, made from the sauvignon blanc (长相思) grape. Take a car and spend a few days visiting some of Marlborough's wineries (酿酒厂)．Most have wines available for tasting and a number also have their own restaurant or cafe, where you can enjoy the wine alongside.

The charming background of Kaikoura is the snow-capped mountain range which seems to come all the way down to the sea. Among the many activities here—fishing, hiking, kayaking (划独木舟) and even bird watching—the one not to miss is a boat trip on the bay to see the whales. Kaikoura is in fact one of the best places in the world for whale watching.

Queenstown

On any list of places to visit in New Zealand, Queenstown should be at the top. This alpine (高山的) town has things to do for all seasons, and impressive scenery that is among the country's very finest. Located on the shores of Lake Whakatipu, there is a full range of water as well as land-based activities. In the winter Queenstown is the place for the best skiing in New Zealand.

Milford Sound

Mitre Peak is a mountain which seems to rise out of the waters of Milford Sound and is one of the most photographed and recognizable New Zealand sights. Milford Sound lies in the southwest corner of the South Island. The water is surrounded on either side by rock faces that rise at least 1，200 meters (3，900 feet) and after rain hundreds of waterfalls appear, some up to a thousand meters long.

It is no wonder that Milford Sound was described by Rudyard Kipling as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”．
