MERRY CHRISTMAS!

For most of us, we would have received and been indulging in alot of chocolates AND feeling GUILTY about it. Correct?

For myself, i have been eating alot of them.. from Spain, Sweden, US, Aust, Switzerland and the list goes on... they are just SOOO nice!

However, no worries..

Do you know that...

High quality chocolate is rich in vitamins A1, B1, C, D, E, calcium, potassium, iron, sodium and magnesium.

Chocolate makes you feel good because the cocoa content in chocolate stimulates serotonin which has a positive impact on moods. The higher the cocoa content, the greater the effect.

Chocolate also has psychological powers. It is symbolic of rewards, love and appreciation - a treat that makes you feel good by association.

Chocolate contains phenylethylamine which stimulates the brain and creates the same sensations as being in love.

The flavour of chocolate, linked to childhood memories, can bring to mind feelings of warmth, tranquility and well-being that chase away worries, nervousness and tension.

Chocolate contains the stimulant methylxantine that boosts concentration, prevents fatigue and stimulates respiratory and cardiac activity.


Now that you know chocolates actually has such a positive impact on us, don't curse the person who offers you a chocolate along the way or as a xmas gift in future! Hohoho~
