Celebrate the Benefits of Chocolate
Thursday December 18 at 10:00 AM
Everybody likes chocolate! It’s delightful to our taste buds: unique in flavor, creamy and tasty, and melts in your mouth! Chocolate is a popular treat that many people crave. It is given as favors for holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Christmas, or special occasions, such as birthdays and parties. There are many health benefits of chocolates too! Chocolate, made from cocoa beans, contains flavonoids which can reduce the risk of heart disease and lower blood pressure. Chocolate is rich in a number of important antioxidants and has lots of neuroactive components. A growing numbers of studies suggest that it can be a healthy food choice. Joyce Cheng, Community Health Nurse would like to invite you to discover the health benefits of chocolates and how to select chocolate that is healthy. Come sample a variety of chocolates and celebrate the holiday season with Joyce at the Bedford COA on Thursday December 18 at 10:00 AM.
