Treat Yourself: It’s National Chocolate Day!

October 28, 2014 Delta Dental of Idaho

Celebrate National Chocolate Day

Everything’s better with chocolate…especially today for National Chocolate Day!

Not only is chocolate delicious, it’s one of the best sweets for your teeth. Chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth and can be eaten easily, which decreases the amount of time sugar stays in contact with teeth. And the calcium in the chocolate could help protect tooth enamel.

But wait – it gets better. Chocolate (in moderation) is good for your overall health too! It’s loaded with antioxidants, it has mood-boosting qualities and it may reduce stroke risk.

In honor of National Chocolate Day, here are some healthy ways to have a delectable day:

Start your day with these chocolate muffins. Yes, you can have chocolate for breakfast! Especially when they’re (secretly) filled with flax, pumpkin, and chomp-worthy chocolate!

Continue the celebration with a DIY chocolate spa mask. This chocolate TREATment will moisturize, exfoliate and cleanse your skin.

After a nutritious dinner, it’s time to whip up a decadent dessert. This dark chocolate bark provides a unique crunch, filled with protein-rich chia seeds and nuts.

Take your *sweet* time to enjoy these treats a choco-LOT. But after your cocoa coma, remember to brush and floss your pearly whites.
