Health Benefits of a Chocolate Gift Basket

Sending a gift basket is simple. Sending a gift basket with health benefits is even better. It is a known fact that chocolate has health benefits. You can read an interesting article about those health benefits of chocolate at Nurseconnector.com.

A gift basket containing chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, has something called flavanoids. These flavanoids are best known for their antioxidant properties. Consuming antioxidants is beneficial to reduce the amount of damage that can occur to the cells inside your body; READ about the Top Healthiest Foods.

Eating chocolate is not the only way to keep a heart healthy. There are some
specific contents in the chocolate that help. The most beneficial is the
dark chocolate because of the flavonoids that it contains. Oddly enough the
manufactures of the chocolate destroyed many of the flavonoids in the early
days. Since the discovery of the health effects, manufacturers work very
hard to maintain 95% of it in the product. Since the taste of dark chocolate
is bitterer than semi-sweet, consider buying one with almonds and raisins of
one of each. This can add a little flair and variety to the bar
.

The bottom line here is that a gift basket is one thing, but a gift basket with health benefits that is great. Basketsender.com has some incredible choices of stylish, fancy, and healthy baskets to choose from (Chocolate and Gourmet).
