The act of loving and being loved is good for your physical health as
well as your emotional and spiritual health, because it not only
boosts the immune system, but also the neurotransmitters in your brain
that are responsible for mood and good feelings of well-being.

Keep in mind that love and celebrating Valentine’s Day does not have

Don’t forget that an important part of loving yourself is eating foods
that are good for you. So this Valentine’s day be sure to love your

have a piece of chocolate, be sugar-free, preferably organic and keep
it to a mini um. Some other healthier choices include carob or fruit
and nuts. I find a bowl full of organic cherries draped with raw
organic almond butter to be a delicious treat for a holiday like
Valentine’s Day.
