10 More Reasons to Love Chocolate

We have previously outlined 10 Reasons to Love Chocolate. Well here are ten more!

10. There is an endless supply of it!

If you run out of chocolate all you need to do is go to your nearest shop to buy some more. If your nearest shop is not easy to get to you can always order your next fix of chocolate online and have it delivered straight to your work or home address.

9. Whatever your mood chocolate suits the occasion!

It doesn't matter if you are celebrating Christmas, relaxing in front of the TV or mourning the break up of a relationship, chocolate is perfect for the occasion.

8. It is an addiction you won't get arrested for!

Chocolate can be addictive as it contains stimulant substances like caffeine, theobromine and methylxantinesand and in some people it actually works like a drug. Making them feel happier and more relaxed. Unlike other addictions however chocolate is unlikely to get you arrested. So you can possess or consume several pounds of it with the fear of being sent to jail.

7. Chocolate is good for you!

Well dark chocolate is anyway. Recent studies suggest that chocolate, and especially dark chocolate, contains chemicals that lower the risk of cancer and heart disease. Flavanoids and antioxidants in dark chocolate have been shown to make a discernible difference in cardiovascular health. Until recently, tea was considered the main source for these chemicals. But now, scientists recommend that you have a chocolate cookie or biscuit with black tea so your body gets more of those life-lengthening chemicals.

6. You can base your holidays around it!

There are several countries around the world that make a fantastic chocolate holiday destination. You might not have necessarily thought of it amongst their other tourist attractions but a trip to New York, Paris, St Lucia or Brussels can include a taste and exploration of some of the best chocolate in the world.

5. It makes a great gift!

Everybody loves chocolate so if you're ever unsure of what to get someone for their birthday, Christmas, retirement, graduation or any celebration or occasion at all, a chocolate gift box is bound to be well received.

4. Chocolate is cheaper than Prozac!

Let's face it we all know chocolate improves our mood. And I know what I would rather have prescribed to me.

3. You can take it anywhere you go!

It doesn't matter where you go - on a flight, on the commute to work, to the cinema, park, beach or on an errand - you can take a chocolate with you to any destination. The same can't be said for other things you cherish. (Try taking your cat/dog to the cinema or your favourite Slipknot CD to work).

2. You can get paid to eat chocolate!

Most chocolate companies employ tasters to monitor the quality of their produce. Generally these tasters possess no formal qualifications in chocolate production but they do have an acute sense of taste and smell. If this is you then a dream job like this one at Green and Black's awaits. Who wouldn't want to make a living eating something they love!

1. It tastes Great!

Whether it be milk, dark or white, combined with nuts, fruit or some kind of lolly, the taste of chocolate is something we simply all enjoy. After all that is why we eat it isn't it?

The Reasons for Us to Love Chocolate

Generally speaking, most of us like to eat chocolate in our daily life. We can not resist the good taste and romantic property of chocolate. When we mention chocolate, a romantic feeling can take up our heart. Maybe the reasons for us to love chocolate are different, but we are all the supporters of chocolate. Five reasons can be summarized to explain our love to chocolate.

1. A good taste. When we eat chocolate, the chocolate can be easily and smoothly dissolved in our mouths. During this process, the unique flavor and taste of chocolate can be completely transmitted to our sense of taste. We usually can not resist this good taste.

2. An adjustor of our mood. The substances like caffeine and sugar contained in chocolate can fasten our breath and stimulate our nervous system. As a result, our mood can be activated. In addition, according to the research in America, when we eat chocolate, a kind of substance called "opiate" can be produced in our brain which can adjust the nerves. Therefore, we can alleviate the pain and sorrow we are suffering from by eating chocolate.

3. A romantic bailor. Many women expect their boyfriends or husbands to give them chocolate as a gift. Maybe many men can not understand women's attachment to chocolate. Sometimes, women themselves can also not explain their attachment to chocolate. If men want to give absolutely satisfactory gifts to women, they can choose chocolate.

4. A cardiac stimulant of heart. Various beneficial substances are contained in chocolate. For example, some antioxidants and flavonoids can help us reduce the chances of getting cancer and cardiovascular disease. The substances contained in cocoa can also help us prevent the formation of heart disease. Therefore, if we feel tired, we can eat chocolate to support our heart.

5. An adjustor of blood pressure. The intake of chocolate can help us prevent high blood pressure and protect heart vessels. Among all the kinds of chocolate, dark chocolate can play a most effective role in adjusting blood pressure for us.

In short, we always have various reasons to explain our attitudes toward chocolate. However, we must remember that we can not always eat chocolate in our spare time. If we always eat chocolate excessively, we will absorb too much sugar and caffeine caffeine contained in chocolate. The excessive absorption of sugar and caffeine can seriously hurt our teeth and brain.

Chocolate: A Way to a Woman's Heart - The Reasons Women Who Crave Chocolate Aren't Crazy

"I need chocolate" Is what I usually say when I'm starting (or before I start) my monthly cycle. I've always felt bad about it even!

I was watching the news when I saw them mention a recent study about chocolate and women. The reasons we have this craving is because chocolate has something (I'm not sure what, but it's yummy) that provides our bodies with what it needs.

Not only that, it helps fight breast cancer, and even osteoporosis!

So don't feel so bad, ladies, the next time you're feeling a strong chocolate craving. Though it hasn't quite been pin pointed what it is exactly the chocolate provides for women and why we need it so often, I'm now confident enough to say that it's a safe thing to stock up on every month in case of emergencies.

I always like the real fudge around that time of the month, so stopping by a place like the chocolate factory or Willy Wonka's house (I know, I had to say it though) every few weeks is probably a great idea. Though, I'm not saying it's okay to eat chocolate every single day (is that even possible?) because that will just leave us with really large love handles, muffin tops, cushin' for the pushin' or whatever you wanna call it. I call it FAT.... or adipose cells... not sexy. Save the chocolate for a rainy day. Whether it's raining inside or outside, take it from me, you don't want to be caught without the chocolate. I can't drive with tears in my eyes. It's a comfort food. So take comfort in the fact that it's good for you and thank the scientists that prove to women all over the world that they aren't crazy. Even more importantly, to our guys.

Whether it's a snicker bar, milky way bar or some other form of chocolate, don't feel so bad about picking it up. If your body tells you that you need a king size, then go for it. I am a strong believer in listening to your body. HOWEVER, you have to learn the difference between your body's needs and your body's wants. It can be tricky, but if you're thinking about pushing that person out in front of the train it's probably a good idea to just buy the chocolate bar, everyone will be happier that way.

As for the guys.... no skipping out on the chocolates on valentine's day! No wonder it's a way to a girl's heart.
