Valentines Day is creeping closer and with it the thought of chocolate bars, good truffles and beautifully packed boxes of chocolate candy. Chocolate, cards and flowers are the most common Valentines Day gifts. Chocolate has long been associated with women, lust, feeling of well being and even anti aging. It would be great if chocolate would be prescribed as an antiaging fountain of youth treatment but unfortunately chocolate has also a bad connotation due to high sugar and fat content.
It is of no surprise that chocolate has medicinal and antiageing properties. It was considered “food of the gods” by ancient Mayan Indians and was thought to have magical mystical powers and was used to cure fever, cough and ease pregnancy discomfort. In the ancient Mayan culture it symbolized life and fertility. Chocolate originated in South America about 4000 years ago and was named it xocoatl which means bitter water. The Mayans invented the first chocolate drink that was bitter and spicy without sugar.
Later the Aztecs “improved” the chocolate drink by adding Vanilla and honey. Chocolate was of such high value to the Aztecs that it served as a trading currency similar to gold – imagine growing money on trees!
Dark chocolate has antiaging properties consumed internally and also as an external application of antiaging chocolate mask.
The anti aging properties of chocolate are due to its high content of falovonoids which are antioxidant with many attributed benefits among them destruction of cancer cells, fighting allergans and improving brain blood circulation. Chocolate is also claimed to reduce the blood levels of “bad” cholesterol LDL and assist in fighting cardiac disease.
So this Valentines day treat your loved one to dark chocolate, the darker the better.
In preparation for the ideal Valentines Day romance, treat yourself to a body and face skin tightening treatment available at selected salons. Later enjoy the benefits of the ideal combination of chocolate indulgence which would include a chocolate antiaging face mask treatment before your romantic dinner.
The recipe calls for:
2 Table spoons of cocoa powder
2 Table spoons of plain yogurt
1 Table spoon honey
3 teaspoons of chopped oats.
Mix the ingredients and apply to the face, leave on for 20 minutes and rinse with water. Tone and moisturize your skin with your favorite anti aging cream. Chocolate is also considered an aphrodisiac; its aphrodisiac qualities are linked to the actual sensual experience while consuming the silky chocolate. Hopefully your loved one will present you with a beautiful box of dark chocolates this valentines day, but just in case be prepared and invest in high quality dark chocolate. This will not only heighten your sensual experience during this lover’s day but will also benefit your health. It is always good to find pleasures in life that are not only tasty but actually good for you!
