Chocolate: Cheers to Your Health!
By Grace O
Almost everyone loves chocolate. On my recent travels through France I saw the most beautiful Parisian truffles--like works of art--and wondered if there were chocolate treats that would help us all stay young and gorgeous. I know that chocolate contains some serious anti-aging FoodTrients, but it also contains fat and calories.

They are mainly cultivated in South America, Indonesia, and West Africa. The quality of the cocoa bean is determined by its variety and how it is processed. Read More

This Middle Eastern-style meatloaf is actually a ground beef and pine nut filling between two layers of a seasoned meat paste. The nutty flavor of flaxseed combines well with grass-fed ground beef, which has more healthful Omega-3s and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs, or healthful fats) than you'll find in grain-fed beef. Tomato paste gives this dish a lycopene lift. For a spicier meatloaf, use red pepper paste instead. I like to eat this dish drizzled with lemon juice to bring out all the flavors. Get the Recipe
