Everything Chocolate for Valentine's Day

Filed in archive Destination: US on February 13, 2007

Whether packed in red, heart-shaped boxes or not, chocolate has always been one of the best-selling products on Valentine's Day.

Many women take pleasure in eating chocolates. After all, eating chocolates has been linked with the release of serotonin in the brain, which produces the feeling of pleasure. There were also several studies which suggest that chocolates have health benefits like it aides in antioxidation and reduces blood pressure. Hmmm... those do not really sound romantic.

Anyway... chocolates have also been referred to as an aphrodisiac because of the presence of phenethylamine which is a mild sexual stimulant. It has not really been proven but, in any case, giving your loved one chocolates does help in that area.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. I hope that you do have, at least, chocolates for your loved one.

If not, you can just give her a "note" with a promise to give your chocoholic loved one a chocolatey experience she will never forget. As soon as she says, yes, head online and book:
