I mean, really, do we really like need a reason?
Well, if you do then,
here,
lookie what I found!
1-Researchers have found that chocolate, particularly dark chocolate and cocoa, contain antioxidants that may help reduce the risk of heart disease.
2-Chocolate also contains potassium, magnesium and calcium.
3-Although the cocoa butter in chocolate is high in saturated fat, a third of that fat comes from stearic acid, which doesn't raise LDL (the bad cholesterol) and instead is converted in the liver to oleic acid, a heart-healthy fat.
4-Eating chocolate increases the production of serotonin, a natural antidepressant, and increases the release of endorphins in the brain.
5-Finally, chocolate releases the same chemical in our bodies as when we fall in love.
So, I say, what's wrong with giving yourself a little love?
