  Dot com Welcome to the Daily Quote, a podcast designed to
• 0:06
  kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host Anna McGivern for November 29th.
• 0:13
  Today's National Chocolates Day. Not candy, not ice cream,
• 0:18
  chocolate. Chocolate is one of those treats
• 0:21
  that makes you feel good and has some health benefits too.
• 0:25
  Due to antioxidants like flavanols and polyphenols.
• 0:30
  These compounds help combat oxidative stress and support
• 0:34
  various bodily functions when consumed in moderation.
• 0:38
  This is especially true if you eat dark chocolate, which
• 0:41
  contains less sugar and more cocoa.
• 0:46
  Dark chocolate lowers blood pressure, improves blood flow,
• 0:49
  and reduces heart disease risk. And it enhances brain function
• 0:53
  too, improving memory and reaction time.
• 0:58
  You really can't go wrong eating a small dose of dark chocolate.
• 1:03
  And that brings us to today's quote from Tom Hanks's
• 1:05
  character, Forrest Gump, who once said life is like a box of
• 1:11
  chocolates. You never know what you're going
• 1:14
  to get. Forrest Gump was right.
• 1:18
  If you don't read the map that comes with the box, that is.
• 1:23
  But if you just randomly grab a chocolate, you might get nougat,
• 1:27
  you might get nuts, maybe some caramel.
• 1:31
  Just like in life, you never know exactly what you're going
• 1:33
  to get. Except with dark chocolate, you
• 1:37
  do know that you're going to get an oxytocin kick and some
• 1:41
  magnesium and those brain and heart boosting flavonols and
• 1:44
  polyphenols. So today, despite not knowing
• 1:49
  exactly how the day is going to unfold, eat some chocolate.
• 1:55
  Good chocolate, dark chocolate, not because you need it, but
• 2:02
  because chocolate helps in more ways than one.
• 2:07
  That's going to do it. For today.
• 2:09
  I'm Anna McGivern, signing off for now, but I'll be back
• 2:14
  tomorrow. Same pod time, same pod station
• 2:20
  with another daily quote.
