Getting a daily helping of chocolate may be one of the sweetest ways to help your heart.
Research shows that eating foods that are rich in catechin antioxidants, such as dark chocolate, may lower your risk of ischemic heart disease. To keep saturated fat intake low, however, limit yourself to one piece of dark chocolate per day and supplement with other catechin-rich foods that are low in fat, such as apples and tea.
Sinless Chocolate Kisses

1 ounce unsweetened chocolate

1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 large egg whites

Combine the chocolate and cocoa in a food processor until finely chopped. Blend in the powdered sugar and cornstarch. Beat the egg whites with the coffee granules until foamy and then gradually add the granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cocoa mixture and vanilla.

"With a birthday on the 5th of the month you are inclined to work well with people and enjoy them. You are talented and versatile, very good at presenting ideas. You may have a tendency to get itchy feet at times and need change and travel. You tend to be very progressive, imaginative and adaptable. Your mind is quick, clever and analytical. A restlessness in your nature may make you a bit impatient and easily bored with routine. You may have a tendency to shirk responsibility".
