Choco-indulgence

Okay time to indulge in another Gp.........ummm the basic that most of us indulge in say CHOCOLATES!!!!!!!!!!!The romantic, seductive, feel good temptation CHOCOLATES!

Let’s look at some good points of this pleasure [which am sure outnumbers the bad one BUT as long as it’s yummy like who cares!], then the bad points [will cut it SHORT ;)] and then confessions of a chocoholic.
Dark, White, Sweet dark, Semi-sweet, Bittersweet, Unsweetened or milk people have different choices. People indulge in anything from chocolate shavings to chocolate paste, spread, chips, powder to chocolate bar! I guess the yummy smoothness captures your attention any which ways!

Ummm the Good effects: Okay so I really don’t know what this is all about so I searched and well voila
1. We age less [the science is the antioxidants in the chocolate protect body from free radicals].
2. Chocolate has good properties of dark vegetables coz essentially it is a plant product.
3. Dark chocolate.
a) Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol.
b) Lowers stress levels it stimulates endorphin production, which gives a feeling of pleasure.
c) It contains serotonin, which acts as an anti-depressant.
d) It contains theobromine, caffeine and other substances which are stimulants.
Most of them are for dark chocolate but yeah it’s chocolate!

Okay the Disadvantages:
1. It is a calorie rich food with a high sugar and fat content.
2. It contains a variety of substances, some of which have addictive properties e.g sugar, theobromine and caffeine which are stimulating and mood elevating.
3. It has been linked to nervous tension as well as migraine headaches because it contains compounds known as vasoactive amines that can dilate brain vessels triggering headaches in susceptible individuals.
4. Chocolate causes or aggravates acne


Did you know: To see chocolate in your dream, signifies self-reward. It also denotes that you may be indulging in too many excesses and need to practice some restraint.

TIP: Chocolate is a complex food with over 300 compounds and chemicals in each bite. To really enjoy and appreciate chocolate, take the time to taste it.

Wanna give up chocolate addiction (enjoy it sometimes with guilt but never depend on it )

Confessions of a chocoholic
:
1. She is a girl, tired of being a chocoholic but she can’t stop it and when I uttered CHOCOLATE she goes: I LIKE IT! I LOVE IT! I LICK IT! I LOATHE IT.
2. She is one happy chocoholic and her response: I feel lightheaded, giddy, good-humoured, and peaceful-yet-energized.
3. He was hard to find strangely guys are not really open about being addicted especially to chocolate! His response: “I am a goner. I come from a long line of chocoholics, so I guess it is not surprising that I am inflicted with the condition. My mom is a chocoholic, my grandma is a chocoholic, and several of my siblings are chocoholics. When I am choosing dessert at a restaurant, I don’t even give a second glance to things with words like “fruit” or “cobbler”. For me, it is not even worth it unless there is the word “chocolate” followed by something like “overload”, “indulgence” or “obsession”.

The chocolate-mania continues in the world but the post ends! Will be back with many more such entries! Toodles .
