Chocolate For Me and My Love




 

 This is one of those times when when it sounds too good to be true, but it's not! Researchers have discovered that there are seven healthy reasons  to eat chocolate. Yes way! You can pig out eat  some chocolate and not feel guilty. Dark is best. If you want to know all the details, click on the link and read the article for yourself, but I will summarize briefly:
  1. reduced risk of heart attack and strokes
  2. protects against dementia
  3. decreased BMI
  4. reduces the risk of diabetes
  5. reduces stress and gives you the feeling of being in love
  6. longer life....seriously!
  7. helps with coughs and reduces cavities- oops, that's actually 8

Valentines from friendsBe Mine~


My best friend made this and sent it to me.   She spoils me rotten!





Hope this Valentine's Day gave you a reason to smile. I enjoyed affection from family and friends and a bit of heart healthy candy. Now, go open that box of chocolates and feel the LOVE~



1Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is Love.
