Undeniably, Valentine's Day is a time for chocolate.
And with all of chocolate's sexy attributes, it's no wonder that it keeps lovebirds coming back for more.
But naked chocolate is something more than sexy and plain healthy?it's good for you beyond your wildest dreams!There lies a huge difference in traditional, processed chocolate and chocolate in its pure form: the cacao bean.
Once the chocolate is processed, it loses all of its beneficial properties.
Consumers flipped when they found out that chocolate is actually good for you.
But did you also know?
? Cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times what is found in green tea*? Eat up!
Raw chocolate has higher antioxidant levels per 100 grams than most of the fruits and veggies we consume, including all berries, spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and prunes!? Raw chocolate literally stimulates the happy, sexy hormones in the brain: anandamide (bliss chemical), arginine (nature's Viagra), serotonin (the anti-stress chemical), tryptophan (anti-depressant), and phenyl ethylamine (heightens focus).
? Cacao is guaranteed to get your blood flowing! It contains high levels of magnesium, which is needed for good heart performance and lowers blood pressure.

Do's and Don'ts of Military Care Packages for Soldiers
Sending a care package to your loved one deployed overseas seems so easy, doesn't it? You just box up some cookies, attach a sweet card, and it's ready to go, right?If only it were that easy.Sending mail to ships/units overseas is tricky for many reasons (slow processing, mail limitations, etc.) but one of the most confounding is this: unless you've been deployed yourself, it's hard to know exactly what a Soldier or Sailor might want.After two deployments (and a picky husband), here's what I've learned about military care packages.Try Not to Embarrass: You might think sending a life-size portrait of your toy poodle dressed in a ballet skirt is hilarious, but chances are your husband won't be laughing when he has to carry the cumbersome "pooch" back to his room and past all his friends. You never know where your spouse will open his package, or whom he'll be with. If you think he'll be humiliated for anyone to know you sent him pink boxer shorts, either don't send them or give him a heads...
