DREAM HOME

Maybe you tried a diet once. No chocolates, no cakes, no biscuits, no lollies, no ice cream, no fun.
The standard you-won’t eat-junk-food diet that lasted less than a week. By then, the cravings had affected your brain and you could no longer trick it into accepting a mandarin as a post 3-pm sugar fix.
So you gave up. Returned to your regular stuff-everything-in-your-mouth-you possibly-can-diet. There’s no need to turn down dinner invitations or have to think too hard what to pack in the old lunchbox when you’re not wasting precious hours figuring out what you can eat.
And let’s face it, a little bit of chocolate magically erases anyone’s especially woman’s frown lines.

Temptation comes in many guises. For Eve, it was an apple; for many, it’s chocolate.
Yes, on the health front, it has been attributed to migraines, acne and obesity.
But more importantly, it’s long been considered an aphrodisiac. Chocolates has been viewed as an aphrodisiac for centuries. The Aztecs associated chocolate with Xochiquetzal, goddess of fertility. It’s also been associated with a Mayan god of fertility. It was even banned from some monasteries centuries ago because it was thought to prompt promiscuous shenanigans.
Chocolate contains two mood-flirting substances called phenylethylamine and serotonin, which are also found naturally in your brain.
These stimulants kick in when you are feeling happy. Not only do they improve your mood, they also boost your blood pressure and increase your heart rate. They give you a sense of well-being and excitement, similar to the natural high experienced when you’re in love.
The melt-in-your-mouth feeling isn’t the only sensual pleasure. Chocolate is also great for you sex drive.
The extra energy kick from the sugar increases your stamina, and that can only be good when it comes to love.
