A Heart Healthy Valentine!
By Tiffany Bucciarelli
Your sweetheart many have the key to your heart, but a proper diet and regular physical activity can be the key to a healthy heart. Instead of the traditional milk chocolate cupids and the candy hearts, this Valentine's Day indulge in a healthy gift or date. Here are 5 of PhillyHealthWatch's favorites!
Rather than tempting your beloved with milk chocolate, consider the healthy alternatives such as, organic fruit dipped in gluten free dark or milk chocolate or get romantic with gluten free dark chocolate fondue that you can dip fresh fruit in over a candle light setting. All of these are offered at Philly Chocolate located at 1315 Walnut Street.
Quality time is one of the most meaningful gifts. Bundle up and plan an active outing such as ice-skating – River Rink has sweetheart skating from 6-9pm on February 14th.
Cooking at home is an excellent way to control the quality and amount of what you eat. Take a date to a cooking class at William Sonoma!
Still craving something sweat – send a bouquet of fruit to your loved one that has natural sugar as well as healthy nutrients instead of sending sweets with added sugar. Try Editable Arrangements at 120 South 12th Street.
Go Fish – did you know, that for ideal health you should eat fish twice a week? Take your Valentine to one of the best fresh fish places in the city for dinner, Fork Restaurant located at 306 Market Street in Old City is offering a special Valentine's Day menu with two fresh fish options!
