In cased you missed it, please check out last Friday’s post about indulging yourself on Valentine’s day. Whether or not you have a special sweetheart to share today with, you need to take time out for at least a little self-indulgence today.
Go ahead, have that extra chocolate dipped strawberry! Not only is it a holiday, but dark chocolate covered strawberries are actually a great beauty booster. Strawberries are packed with vitamins and contain phenols that work as an anti-inflammatory to soothe skin. And don’t forget that luscious chocolate — just make sure it’s dark chocolate to maximize its benefits. Not only does this antioxidant packed snack helps stimulate cell regeneration, but a study from the Harvard School of Public Health also found that coco, the primary ingredient in chocolate, also helps boost heart health by increasing blood flow, fighting blood clots, and lowering “bad” cholesterol.
And don’t forget the sexy side effects! Chocolate has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac — yet another good reason to indulge in a little extra today ;)
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
