I am a chocolate addict; anything
made of cocoa automatically gets included in my favourites’ list. When I
started to gain weight, I had to cut down chocolates and everything made of
cocoa+sugar. Since then, I always feel guilty while eating chocolates, pastries
or coffee. The guilt of interrupting my weight loss schedule and the fear of possible
diabetic future kept me in check.
Sometimes, I hate that part of me
that says no to chocolates! Recently, I had a yummy bar of chocolate that made
me realize why we should cherish our choco-love and not feel guilty about it. Here, I present 10 solid reasons why you should
not be ashamed of the chocolate lover inside you!
- Chocolates bring happiness
The tryptophan (amino acid) found
in chocolate makes the brain produce a chemical substance called serotonin, responsible
for the happy feeling. Eating chocolates can lighten up your mood and bring
happiness. This is one inexpensive way to deal with your depression, mood
swings and sometimes, your angry boss too.
- Sharing chocolates create a stronger bond
No chocolate lover would like to
share their chocolates with others and if they do, then you are one lucky
friend. (It’s like Sheldon Cooper letting others have his spot.) Also, getting
a gift for your choco-addict friend is simple; buy a box full of chocolates and
that is the best gift you can ever give them. Phew!
- Dark chocolates, a sinful passion
Dark chocolates are available for
all the weight watchers who can’t sleep without taking a bite. A decent dark
chocolate should have at least 65% cocoa or more; anything less than this level
wouldn’t have any health benefits. The
strong aroma of cocoa and the bitter-sweet taste of the melting chocolate can
be exotic – perfect for people with acquired taste.
- You become a kid again
If you are a genuine chocolate
lover, you wouldn’t mind licking the melted chocolate off the wrapper. That’s
called true love, just like a kid; pure and unconditional.
What more do you need?
- 1/3rd of world’s population will back you
I remember reading years back
that almost one third of world’s population prefer chocolate flavour when it
comes to ice cream. So, you are not alone in this sinful ecstasy.
- Your best companion
When you feel down or alone, try
enjoying every small bite of your chocolate – You’ll forget about the boring
Saturday night at home. It fills the missing link, the feeling only a chocolate
lover can understand.
- Do it your way
There are1000 ways to taste this
brown bundle of joy - sip it (hot chocolate), lick it or even bite it; it will
still taste the same and serve you blissful moments. Pick a chocolate variety
and see if it exist; you will find it. Did you know there are chocolates made out
of green tea?
- Gift to mankind
Chocolate is one of the best
inventions, man has ever made. Mayans gave so much to mankind but this is their
finest masterpiece. Though chocolates are available for over 4000 years, it is
still young and exotic in our hearts.
- The coolest thing to do
Having chocolates will make you
10X times cooler!
Chocolates can calm your mind and
bring a sense of happiness, thereby making you a cool head all the time.
- C’mon! They are chocolates
You don’t really need a reason to
eat chocolates coz they are CHOCOLATES, the little brown heart breakers.
Dear
Chocolate,
I don’t need a
reason to love you
If it
requires, let the reason be Love!
Never feel guilty about something
you love, as far as it’s not illegal. Have some pride in your passion and let
yourself know that chocolates will only make you happier. Next time you see
that big dusky bar of happiness, do not think twice; have a bite and relish the
fact that you are a chocolate lover.
