As we know, all chocolate is made from Cacao Beans (also known as Cocoa Beans). So practically, Cacao is chocolate! All the antioxidant value, mineral benefits, neurotransmitter rejuvenating properties, and overall health-giving qualities of chocolate are found in Cacao (Chocolate) Powder made from cacao beans.

Studies show that Cacao (Chocolate)might lower blood pressure, increase circulating, increase blood flow to the brain, decrease chronic inflammation in the body and cardio-vascular system in general; dark chocolate also boosts our serotonin level to fight our moodiness.

I would like to share with you these healthy chocolate recipes to make you feel fabulous.

1 ½ cup (about 12 ounces) firm silken tofu, crumbled

¼ to ½ cup dark brown sugar, or pure maple syrup

1/3 cup Cacao (Chocolate) Powder or Carob Powder

2 tsp vanilla extract

pinch of salt (optional)

Directions:

Place all the ingredients in food processor and blend several minutes until smooth and creamy. Chill I the refrigerator until serving time. Adopted from Breaking the Food Seduction by Neal Bernard.

Chocolate Frosting Recipe

11/2 extra firm silken tofu

1 cup Cacao

1/3 cup agave nectar or  Yacon Syrup

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Blend the tofu, Cacao , agave nectar and vanilla in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Set aside. Stir the chocolate chips in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Carefully add the melted chocolate to the food processor, then blend until thoroughly combined. Transfer the frosting to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours or until just firm enough to spread. From The Real Food Daily Cookbook by Ann Gentry.

Seven Minute Water Bubble Meditation to Beat Winter Blues and Have a Healthy Heart

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

February is a Healthy Heart Month to remind us to take care of our heart. The first step to a healthier heart is to reduce stress. I would like to share with you an imagery meditation called Water Bubble Meditation I learned form Barbara Knobova, a relationship coach while interviewing her on my Radio Show for Women “Feel and Look Fabulous with Irina” I hosted on BlogTalkRadio. Barbora gave us lots of tips on how to learn self-love, get rid of abusive relationship, deal with break-ups for our benefits, advantages of female frinedship and more. Click here to listen to our talk, in case you have missed it.

Turn on the video with Ocean Waves sound. Sit or lie down, be comfotable, feel comfortable.

Close your eyes, listen to the sound of the ocean and imagine yourself in the middle of the ocean, submerged in water, surrounded by bubbles. Every water bubble is a problem you have, a pain you feel, a painful emotion you feel in your heart. First, you are surrounded by lots of bubbles, they are everywhere.  But with every breath you take imagine that bubbles start dissapearing, they are going way one by one and  you are in the pieceful water. You are feeling more and more relaxed, more in piece and balance.

Better Mood, Glowing Skin, Healthy Heart and More Reasons to Try Krill Oil

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Do you remember our grand mother told us that fish oil was good for us? Apparently she was right. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, walnuts, flax seeds/oil help us have a healthy heart, boost our immune system, get us in the better mood, reduce PMS, improve our skin.

On my Radio Show for Women ‘Feel and Look Fabulous with Irina” Pamela Reilly, Naturopath and Raw Food Coach talked about importance of Omega-3 fatty acids for our skin especially in winter. Click here to listen.

Dr. Mercola strongly recommends fish oil, and here are some reasons why:

So, if you’re looking for a way to enhance your health with a product that really delivers the goods, then please take a minute to discover how Krill for Women can help you.

Krill oil overcomes the shortcomings of fish oils because of its high levels of antioxidants — helpful for your health for their own sake.

The antioxidants it contains also ensure that the oils don’t oxidize and become rancid inside your body* — important because oxidation leads to the formation of those nasty free radicals. Read more about Krill Oil.

[smartads]

So let us be smart and incorporate more walnuts, flax seeds, organic salmon and maybe Krill Oil in our diet if we want to feel and look fabulous, shall we?

Breathe, smile and be happy.
