I don’t have clear idea about how lovers started giving chocolates as gifts? May be because girls love it or it is sweet. But what the study showed is that chocolates are healthy for heart too. It is said that chocolate is made of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, sugar and milk in certified ratios. As we know it is called chocolate for having cocoa solids which is bitter part of cocoa beans of cocoa tree. Earlier, Chocolates are said to be avoided for having some amount of Nickel (harmful metal element) in its preparation. In the mean time a good serving can give nice daily calcium requirement as it has Calcium with vitamin D and phytosterols (plant chemicals) which helps in reducing cholesterol level is an added component. And it has always been a celebration and festival good and both children and adults like it much. Well the recent claim is that flavanols, an antioxidant present in chocolates can reduce blood pressure. However, nearly four ounces that’s 3-4 regular size dark chocolate bars, consumed every day to promote a reduction in blood pressure! That’s 500 calories and 42 grams of fat! Well too much indulgence may be bad but some light chocolate refreshment will be healthy for the heart just like your heart smiles when you see your lover.
