 How to Fold a Bird-of-Paradise Napkin
Step 1:
Fold a large napkin twice so that it's a square, and press. Now fold this square in half diagonally--to form a triangle.
Step 2:
Fold the sides of this triangle in toward the middle - the bottom points will extend beyond the bottom of the original triangle.
Step 3:
Tuck the bottom points under so they're even with the original triangle, and press flat.
Step 4:
Fold the triangle away from you, so that these smaller triangles are hidden inside the fold.
Step 5:
Now, carefully pull the napkin's corners up and out so that they look like the bloom of a bird-of-paradise.

      The effects of chocolate on cardiovascular health have always been a matter of debate because of the high saturated fat content along with its effects on glucose, lipids, and body weight.  However, recent studies have shown that the various nutrients and chemicals in dark chocolate can potentially favor cardiovascular health.   Some of the heart protective nutrients in dark chocolate include vitamins (A, B1, C, D, and E), essential minerals, and phytochemicals.  In addition, the nutrients in dark chocolate promote cardiovascular performance because of their antioxidative effect.  Dark chocolate contains antioxidants called flavonoids and polyphenols, both of which have may have the ability to help lower blood pressure and dilate blood vessels.
