Western Food Culture: Reasons for Giving Chocolate on Valentine's Day
Chocolate is regarded as mysterious and aphrodisiac in Mayan and Aztec cultures. It is said that the Aztec king drank 50 gold cups of chocolate every day in order to enhance his ability. As early as the Spanish conquerors discovered that chocolate was sent to Spain with the secret of its abundant energy, and it spread all over the world with the color of love before Aztec cars were introduced to Europe.

Later, it was found that the antioxidant function of cocoa polyphenols in chocolate can prevent many diseases. Eating chocolate in moderation is extremely beneficial to the human body.

In addition, a British research report shows that the fragrance of chocolate will increase men's resistance. Although most people who want to receive chocolate as a gift are women, if you are lucky enough to receive chocolate from your girlfriend on Valentine's Day, you should thank her for taking care of your health, because chocolate can induce the body's immune system to produce antibodies and help to resist minor illnesses such as colds.
