Chocolate is one of the world’s most favorite flavors and humans have been consuming the delectable confection since 1900 BC. Most of us do not need a special day to consume a piece of chocolate. But on Sunday, September 13, International Chocolate Day, we urge you to eat a piece and learn to eat it mindfully.
Eating mindfully is a practice that can help people enjoy food more, while avoiding overeating. They say that the first bite is the best one, so why not make it memorable by putting mindful eating into practice.
