My two favourite foods in the entire world…..Anne Summers Body Paint Chocolate & Broccoli, both great foods but both for very different reasons, as always allow me to explain (and yes please bare with me this is going somewhere and yes it does have something to do with health, fitness and six-packs, haha).

Now Anne Summers Body Chocolate makes for a fantastic, small, novelty gift that can be given to your partner around birthdays, Christmas’ but perhaps mainly valentines’ day and anniversaries. It conveys that you are a sexual, slightly romantic and a little cheeky…quite a good combination. Gift-wrapped broccoli on the other hand may not convey such a great message to your other half. In fact you’d do well to keep them after producing such a gift. So why does broccoli make it into ‘Ross Top Food list?’ Well simple, for its amazing cancer fighting qualities, it’s practically natures chemotherapy in the form of a green, leafy, fibrous vegetable. Although the chemical composition of broccoli is very complex, and so it is unclear the exact individual compounds of the broccoli that fight against cancer. Yet it is believed:

The Vitamin C content in the broccoli greatly aids in the prevention of cancer since Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant that prevents harmful free radicals from causing damage within the body.

The phytochemicals found in broccoli (namely compounds called isothiocyanates) not only act as anti-oxidants but they also boost detoxifying enzymes in the body.

Broccoli may alter the bodies oestrogen levels, thus might reduce the risk of breast cancer

Secondly and perhaps more obviously, the Ann Summers Body Chocolate makes a great ‘boudoir desert.’ It is a little cheeky and kinky without being too sordid and both the ‘licker’ and ‘lickee’ get to enjoy themselves. On the other hand cover your partner from head to toe in green broccoli stems and leaves and I can’t seem them becoming that aroused, unless of course they have a fetish for vegetables in which case go to the local green grocer, load your shopping basket and go nuts, whatever floats your boat that’s what I say. But this is not to say Broccoli is not without its charms, regarding aesthetics (or looking good) our green leafy friend can make all the difference. You see, as already mentioned, broccoli yields indoles that are compounds that aid in the control of estrogen (the female hormone.) This is fantastic for men wanting to improve the appearance of their abs, since lower oestrogen levels means:

• Your body will hold less water (water retention/edema)
• Your body is able to achieve lower body fat levels easier
• Your body will have enhanced testosterone levels

So there you have it Anne Summers Body Chocolate and Brassica Oleracea Italica a.k.a. Broccoli, your 2 new best friends. However use them wisely, separately and only for their individual intended purposes, follow these rules and I guarantee both your relationship and training will improve.
