Hungry Girl Today: 9.4.09
Let's skip the chitchat and get right to the chocolate. Read on...
Reasons Chocolate ROCKS (Other Than the Taste!)
- Believe the hype! Super-dark chocolate has been known to lower high
blood pressure, reduce the risk of clogged arteries and blood clots, and
prevent heart disease and other ailments. The higher the cocoa content, the
more disease-fighting flavonoids.
- Cocoa is packed with antioxidants, which, in addition to being great for your
heart, also happen to be terrific for your skin. Bath & Body Works has a
100% Pure Chocolate Mocha Body Scrub chock full of dark Belgian chocolate
and cocoa butter for smooth skin... Deliciously smooth skin.
- There's a scientific reason why chocolate makes you feel better when
you're grumpy. (It's not just in your head!) The fat, sugar, and tryptophan
work together to raise serotonin and endorphin levels in your brain, which
makes you feel happy. WOOHOO!

A tin of these intense and teeny-tiny "peaces" -- tasty nibs of cacao dunked
in dark chocolate -- will last you a loooong time. (BTW, that's no misspelling;
the Sweetriot people are hippies.) YUM!
