Valentine’s day is just around the corner and I thought I can share a few tips to help you be better prepared for valentine’s day!!! Let’s call them Valentine’s Day safety tips.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Be healthy and safe,
In all that you do!“
Valentine’s day brings about indulgence in wine, dark chocolate and intimacy for some. Let’s talk about the favorites day favorites.
Alcohol
There is scientific evidence to suggest that small amounts of alcohol consumption can have benefits on heart health and can reduce the risk of heart disease. It is important to note that in all studies, the beneficial effect of wine was based on small consumption. Large quantities will have adverse effects. Of course, I am not saying that you can start drinking small amounts of alcohol to improve your heart health.
Chocolate
Everyone loves chocolates. But have the dark ones preferably. Dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cocoa (70%) and that contains Flavonoids which are natural antioxidants. Flavonoids in cocoa have been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, prevent blood clots, and therefore have benefits on the heart.
Intimacy
Intimacy is natural with that someone special. But It is better to be safe than sorry. Intimacy can cause two unwanted outcomes, unwanted pregnancy, and infections. Both are preventable. The latex cover and the morning after pill can go a long way in preventing these unwanted outcomes.
