It turns out that eating pumpkin can actually help improve your sex life.  The seeds are a natural libido booster, with tons of sex drive minerals and loads of zinc.  The seeds are supposed to increase testosterone levels, and simply the smell of pumpkin is supposed to have an aphrodisiacal effect.  And, even if it doesn't help turn you on pumpkin is crazy healthy for you anyways.

Who doesn't love eating dessert for breakfast?  I mean seriously, there is nothing danker than eating chocolate cake with some dark coffee for breakfast.  It's  been shown that sometimes eating desserts for breakfast can actually help you lose weight.  Eating dessert early in the day can help fill you up, and lower your cravings throughout the day.  Either way it's amazing.  

Tip: chocolate chip pancakes are always a good idea!

Unlike a lot of what we eat, we know that sweet treats aren't really that good for you.  When you eat dessert you are consciously making the decision to be, maybe, a little unhealthy.  But that's totally ok!  Desserts are good for the soul, and therefore good for you.  There's nothing wrong with treating yourself, and a little chocolate each day is the perfect sweet treat :)
