Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2008

Along with Cupids, hearts and flowers, one thing is synonymous with Valentine’s Day: Chocolate.

Among South American tribes, chocolate was considered a food of the gods; for many people, it remains just that. With planning, chocolate can fit healthfully into anyone’s Valentine’s Day plans.

The fat in chocolate is a combination of saturated and unsaturated fat and does not appear to increase blood cholesterol levels. Even so, chocolate contains calories, so eat it in moderation.
