If there is one reason to celebrate chocolates, other than the fact it is delicious, it is that there has been lots of evidence to find that good quality chocolates have health benefits. For many people it is one of life's greatest pleasures. More of these benefits were found in dark chocolates.
In fact, dark chocolate has more of these flavonoids than other kind of food. The amount of these flavonoids increases along with the quality of the chocolate. Researchers have found that these flavonoids in quality dark chocolate improve a blood vessels ability to dilate, or open up. They have been found to decrease LDL cholesterol, inhibit aggregation of blood platelets (which leads to blood clots that produce heart attacks and strokes) and to decrease the body's inflammatory immune response (which can lead to clogged arteries).
So, what better reason than these to give chocolate gifts than these? Chocolate gifts are truly good for you!! Your only problem now is what kind of chocolate gifts to give to the important people in your life, along with yourself.
Chocolate truffles are a guilty pleasure for many people. Chocolate truffles, for those unaware, are a type of chocolate candy that is made with a chocolate ganache center that is covered in chocolate or cocoa powder. Sometimes the fillings are other ingredients also such as caramel, nuts, fudge, min, marshmallow or liquor. Any and all of them make the chocolate truffles all that much more delicious.
So give chocolates as a gift for the holiday season, or for someone's birthday. Really give chocolate for any reason, it is good for you and has health benefits. What better reason?
