Chocolate is
an eternal symbol for lovers, and a common gift offered on Valentine’s Day. This may not be a coincidence; research has found that cocoa beans contain
hormone analogs that are very much akin to those we give off when we are deeply involved in a romantic encounter. Research has isolated a substance in cocoa that
was dubbed ‘anandamide’ which was determined to be a powerful euphoric.
Other than evoking feelings of love, chocolate has been shown to be good for the heart in many other ways. Chocolate is a rich source of magnesium, which is a
powerful muscle relaxant, including those hard working muscles of the heart. Cocoa is also rich in vitamins A and E, which are important for cellular repair and
rejuvenation as well as increasing blood circulation.
Centara Spa is
using this love of chocolate to launch its "Beauty By Chocolate" event starting
this Valentine’s Day, 14th February till 30th April 2005. A wide selection of Chocolate treatments will be available at Central Hotels & Resorts including Sofitel Central Plaza Hotel, Bangkok, Sofitel Central Hua
