Chocolate Cravings Got A Hold On You?

You may actually be craving the high levels of Magnesium found in chocolate. Does that mean you should eat chocolate with wild abandon to make up for a Magnesium deficiency? No! In fact, there are stimulants in chocolate that you'd best avoid ingesting on a regular basis such as caffeine and caffeine's cousin, theobromine (a toxin which can actually kill a dog).

Instead of overloading your body with stimulants and promoting sugary tooth decay get your Magnesium from such food sources as green vegetables, beans and whole grains.

If you really have the need to eat chocolate every so often, then treat yourself to a high quality brand of dark chocolate to really satisfy your craving instead of gorging on cheap chocolate.

One Godiva is worth a dozen Snickers.

Read What People are Saying About Aiyana Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs:

"I scheduled and appointment with Juliette Aiyana, L.Ac. at Aiyana Acupuncture after hearing a brief report on the news about Acupuncture helping people who suffer from anxiety attacks. For about a year before I saw Juliette I was suffering with panic attacks that were becoming worse and worse and more frequent as time went on.

As soon as I met Juliette I immediately felt at ease. She explained to me all about acupuncture and Chinese herbs and how they work in such a way that was very easy to understand and made perfect sense.

After my second appointment with Juliette I never suffered from another anxiety attack again, and it has now been almost a year since I first visited her. I am so grateful to Juliette. I admit I went into this a little skeptical but Juliette is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to, as soon as I met her I was immediately glad I made the appointment. Each week I would look forward to my appointment, it was such a relaxing experience.

I have such faith in Juliette that I have referred her to friends with various ailments who have also had great results with her. I highly recommend Juliette without reservations."
