3 Reasons why Chocolate is a Great Gift |
Posted: October 24, 2017 |
Be it any occasion, the first thing that often comes to our mind when it comes to giving someone a gift is a chocolate. The reason for that is simple – it is sweet. We do not think twice before buying a chocolate gift hamper and a bouquet of flowers to go along with the key gift that you have to present. Chocolate is truly the best gift you can buy. Not only is it sweet, but also healthy. Here are 3 reasons why chocolate make for great gifts: 1. Improves Cognitive Performance Eating chocolate regularly leads to better cognitive function. This includes brain activities such as language, memory, attention, and reasoning. A report also stated that the consumption of chocolate is directly associated with cognitive function regardless of one’s dietary habits. 2. Reduces the Chances of Stroke A small amount of chocolate everyday can prevent insulin resistance and diabetes. Further, it also helps in lowering the risk of a stroke. 3. Mineral Abundance Dark chocolate consists of several beneficial minerals which are healthy for our body like selenium, zinc, and potassium. 100 grams of dark chocolate (i.e. 70% or more of cocoa) has 67% of the RDA of iron, which is an important component of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin helps the red blood cells to carry oxygen from lungs throughout the body. So never shy away when buying chocolate as gift. Understand the fact that you are not only making the day by giving a gift that is sweet but also giving a gift of health. Chocolate has more health benefits than what it gets credit for. Without a doubt, an excess consumption of chocolate (or anything) may have severe effects but if consumed under moderation, it is healthy for body and therefore, should be consumed regularly.
