Why I ♥ Chocolates

I love chocolates; one could say it was my first love. I really enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee – dunking it into the hot liquid and letting it melt in my mouth (hmmm), savouring every moment.

I could never understand why sharing a simple chocolate could bring on such happiness or how it could build a lasting friendship and can make two people fall in love until I read this fact sheet about chocolates, which I have kept in my dairy for years (like my permission slip):

Did you know?

• High quality of chocolate is rich in vitamins (A1, B1, C, D, E) calcuim, potassium, iron, sodium and magnesium.


• Chcolate makes you feel good because the coca content in chocolate timulates serotonin which has a positive impact on moods.


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


• 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.

The best place to eat chocolate:

• After dinner. What a perfect way to end a perfect evening.


• In the bath. Bubbles and Chocolate - a divine combination. And all the evidence washed away.


• In bed. Chocolate never snores and all the blankets don't end up on its side of the bed either.


• With someone you love. Share a chocolate. Play with chocolate. It's not called the food of love for nothing.
