Valentine's Day is a day that lovers, partners, husbands and wives celebrate being together. It's a day that they rejoice in their love and affections for one another. But if you are alone or single on Valentine's Day, you should still celebrate yourself for who you are and where you are at in your particular life.
You should not be jealous of other couples celebrating their love for one another but instead be happy that your family, friends and others have found love - which is a rarity in these days and times.
Valentine's Day is a time for giving gifts and making others feel special. However, every family especially black family, need to form a new tradition and that tradition should include eliminating chocolate, perfume and cologne as potential gifts for their significant others.
Forget the Chocolate
Forget the chocolate on Valentine's Day. This warning is probably a little late for many people. I was trying to get this warning out before the holidays -- Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Basically if you eat chocolate, it contains heavy metals. Don't listen to others when they tell you dark chocolate is good for you.
Chocolate is chocolate, and every type of chocolate contains heavy metals which can be detrimental to you kidneys. In the black community, there has been an explosion of people going on kidney dialysis. And I recently found out that many of these dialysis centers that are springing up in black neighborhoods are owned by a group of doctors, in which they send their patients to in order to make money.
When a doctor tells you your kidneys are so bad that you can only drink 8 to 12 ounces of water a day, you won't just die from kidney failure but you will die from dehydration from lack of water because the body is 70% water and you need water to survive.
Heavy metals are excreted from your body through your kidneys and chocolate (including coffee and caffeine) contains heavy metals. I know you might think a small amount will be okay on this special day that everyone will be celebrating but remember sweets can be very addictive and it's best to totally stay away from them.
If you craze sweets then eat natural organic fruits but too many natural fruits can also contain too much sugar and cause your body to become acidic which will become a breeding ground for illnesses and diseases.
Many women crave chocolate during that time of the month and the reason for this is that they lack magnesium in their bodies so all they need to do to get rid of this craving is to take a calcium with magnesium daily supplement or eat foods containing magnesium but only if these foods are good for their blood types. So don't forget to eat foods for your blood types.
Forget the Perfume and Cologne
Perfume and cologne is also not just a heavy metal but a toxic poison that goes straight to your blood system and especially your brain. The goal is to go natural and only use natural products such as olive oil and coconut oil on your skin.
Even baby oil, cocoa butter lotion and Vaseline can be harmful for your skin and blood system. All of these contains lanolin which will not allow your skin to breathe. Your skin needs to breathe in order for you to be healthy.
If you really need to have some type of scent, you can find natural fragrants in health food stores. The goal is to go natural and do yourself a favor and tell your mate to skip the chocolate, perfume and cologne this Valentine's Day.
