January 16, 2005 -- 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.
This Valentine's Day, Quintessence is cooking up some sexy desserts...or rather, not cooking them at all. And Quintessence wants to ensure that Valentines are not only enjoying the
delectable tastes of their chocolate desserts, but that it's benefiting their bodies as well!
