About the Book
|
It's often been
said that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
But this clever presentation of the broad ranging benefits of chocolate
clearly lays waste to that old clich'. The Chocolate Therapist is
one of the first books available to consolidate all the latest healthy
facts about chocolate into a single, must-have resource for chocolate
lovers all over the world.
Whatever your health concern, there's a chocolate selection somewhere
that can help solve your problem. The book prescribes recommended
chocolate bars in a format much like you might see on your own medicine
bottle, with chocolate substituted for the medication. This often
makes for a laugh-out-loud realization of how we address our health
issues. But to make her chocolate-for-health premise undeniably
convincing, the author backs up each 'prescription'' with a bevy
of recent statistics supporting how chocolate can help with that
particular health concern. The unique and humorous presentation
makes page turning a no-brainer...you simply must know how to resolve
your next health ailment with chocolate, and why it works. (You're
not limited to the recommended bar substitute your favorite wherever
you like.)
The book also includes a brief history of chocolate, a section on
how to choose the proper chocolate for optimal health and an entertaining
guide on how to eat chocolate properly. The appendices offer a small
collection of dark chocolate recipes, a list of websites for the
recommended bars and a brief overview of the glycemic index. Both
educational and entertaining, you simply can't finish the book without
a dark chocolate bar in hand.
Many people have long considered chocolate a decadent snack, a problem
easily solved by the proper education. The fact is, there's no longer
a need to justify your passion for this once forbidden delicacy.
After you've finished reading, you'll know (among many other things)
how chocolate can help manage moods, how it can help jump-start
a lagging sexual desire and how it can be used to control sassy
kids. You'll also be loaded with chocolate statistics and history,
the tasting skills of a distinguished chocolate connoisseur and
enough information about the health benefits of chocolate to be
the center of attention at any party. There's no reason why we shouldn't
eat chocolate as often as we should drink red wine, and that means
once a day. Is chocolate-for health too good to be true? Not any
more.
