Have a piece of happy-booster

It is often been told that eating apple keeps the doctor away; while eating chocolate makes you happy. Almost everyone loves chocolate. I mean come on, who ever says no to Ferrero Rocher? Do you? O.O It's been a one of the most delicious confectionery creations ever made in human history for decades and the trend never fades. Recent researches proven that chocolates contributes to a better health with moderate, CONTROLLED consumption. Say yay! So what benefits does chocolate brings?

#1 Prevents tooth decay
Surprised? Well you better be. Haha! Chocolate actually contains antibacterial components that can actually help prevent cavities and tooth decay rather than promoting it. But please, still do brush your teeth before bed with a proper tooth paste okay? :)

#2 Antioxidants!
Flavonoids - acts as an antioxidant that fights cell damage, combat stress, protects the body from aging caused by free radicals which might result in heart diseases. But if you are eating chocolate for getting those antioxidants then it’s has to be dark chocolate. Dark chocolates contains a large number of cell-protecting antioxidants which are natural compounds found in fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts. Flavonoids also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide, and balance certain hormones in the body.

#3 Stimulant
Chocolate increases serotonine level in the brain which decreased in people with depression and in those experiencing PMS symptoms. Chocolate stimulates the secretion of endorphins, producing a pleasureable sensation similar to the "runner's high" a jogger feels after running several miles. Translate? It makes you happy!

#4 Good for your heart
A small piece of dark chocolate lowers blood pressure and cholesterol which results in a lower chance in getting heart diseases.

Ahhhh~ Grabbing a bar already? As much as I hate to pop the bubble.

Yes. Chocolate is very addictive. Similar to sugar- a lot of people are addicted to sugar. Then caffeine- and everyone knows about the caffeine addiction very well. Last but very important, chocolate does contain a substance called theobromine that is deadly to animals such as horses, dogs, cats etc. Humans have the ability to metabolise and eliminate the theobromine much better than animals. So it’s not deadly for us. A tiny bit of it can make them sick and too much of it actually can cause death. Don’t give chocolate to your pets or any animals for that matter. Sharing is not always a good thing, in this case.

Chocolate is also a high calorie food. With fats and sugar you are getting a lot of calories but not getting any fibre, enzymes or vitamins. If you consume an average chocolate bar that contains about 220 calories; now if you consume the same amount of calories from the fruits, with all the calories you’ll get fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals minus all other bad or harmful properties that chocolate contains.

SO just control your consumption and indulge in the awesomeness of chocolate!
