Most women love chocolate.  And you know, there’s a good reason for this.  Chocolate is actually good for us.  It stimulates the brain, increases endorphins and creates positive emotional responses.  No wonder the chicks dig it!  But it’s the fatty additives like butter and cream that cause weight gain.  Happily, there are new and better options in chocolate packaging that make it easy to enjoy the psychological and physical benefits while controlling the caloric intake.

Everyone knows how hard it is to stop once you open a chocolate bar.  Who wants to eat a few squares and then put it away?  But new snack packaging options mean it’s more likely that you’ll close up the re-sealable zipper after a few bites.  For one thing, each chocolate piece is smaller.  Sometimes they even come individually wrapped.  It feels that much more natural just to take a few, and put the bag away for next time.

As with red wine, the health benefits of chocolate are best enjoyed in moderation.  So, it’s great that food packaging pouches offer the opportunity to partake in honor of self-control.  You get the best of the tasty treat and its psychological high, but you’re also encouraged to eat only bite-sized portions.  A great solution all around!
