World Chocolate Day July 11

In 1995, a new hol­i­day appeared in the cal­en­dar — World Choco­late Day. It was found­ed by the French, rec­og­nized mas­ters of the choco­late busi­ness. And the fact that this del­i­ca­cy has its own hol­i­day is very fair, because choco­late is not only tasty, but also extreme­ly healthy.

We have col­lect­ed 5 inter­est­ing facts that will prove that real choco­late will ben­e­fit both the body and your mood! Stock up on deli­cious treats and cel­e­brate Choco­late Day with us on July 11!

Chocolate improves heart function

Reg­u­lar con­sump­tion of this sweet can help reduce inflam­ma­tion asso­ci­at­ed with heart and blood ves­sel dis­eases, which is impor­tant for the pre­ven­tion of such ail­ments. To get the dai­ly por­tion of phe­nol nec­es­sary for the body, one cup of cocoa or 40 g of milk choco­late is enough.

Chocolate preserves beauty

It pro­motes skin regen­er­a­tion, restores elas­tic­i­ty, nor­mal­izes lymph flow and blood flow in tis­sues — which means it helps to get rid of cel­lulite. So choco­late baths, wraps and oth­er “sweet” pro­ce­dures are a must-have for real beau­ties.

Chocolate improves mood

It helps fight stress and chron­ic fatigue syn­drome. The rea­son is that the use of this del­i­ca­cy pro­vokes the pro­duc­tion of endor­phin and sero­tonin by the body — hor­mones respon­si­ble for the psy­cho­log­i­cal state.

Chocolate is good for the brain

It has been proven that reg­u­lar con­sump­tion of this dessert by 29% reduces the risk of stroke and low­ers blood pres­sure. In addi­tion, peo­ple whose diet con­tains choco­late are less like­ly to suf­fer from demen­tia in old age.

Chocolate strengthens the immune system

Do not give up on it in win­ter and spring — sup­port the body’s defens­es. And if you still have a cold, drink a cup of hot nat­ur­al choco­late — the sore throat will pass, and the cough will sub­side.

So if you want to be healthy and beau­ti­ful, keep a small bar of good dark choco­late on hand. And do not be afraid to break the diet — one small slice will not harm the fig­ure, but, as you can see, there are a lot of ben­e­fits from it.

You can start right today — the hol­i­day oblig­es!
