A chocl8 a day keeps stress at bay

Think of the best antioxidants you've ever heard of.
Red wine?
Green tea?
Pomegranate?
Blueberries?
well, Dark chocolate leaves them all in the dust.

Chocolate" comes from the Aztec word, "xocolatl," which means "bitter water."

so here are a few chocolicious facts which will leave you completely salivating ....!!

One ounce of baking chocolate or cocoa contains 10% of the daily recommended intake of iron.
Anaemic anyone??!:P
Cocoa beans are rich in a number of essential minerals, including magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese.

Quality dark chocolate contains flavonoids which help reduce the risk of heart disease....

Chocolate is associated with the release of serotonin, the hormone that makes you feel relaxed, calm, and happy......

Although not scientifically proven, chocolate is believed by many, to be an aphrodisiac. The theory is supported by the fact that chocolate does contain among many chemicals the stimulants: caffeine, theobromine, and phenyethylamine.....(now u noe wat do u need after a bad fight ;))

Despite being high in fat content, chocolate doesn't appear to raise blood cholesterol levels.

Chocolate manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.....!!

so i guess its true when they say...A little of what you fancy does you good...!!!

bon Appetit!!!!:)
