On April 23^rd the United States honors lovers and loving yourself across the country with National Lovers’ Day 2022. RED Chocolate celebrates and honors this “holiday” every year by showing our loved ones just how much we care about them with a delicious RED chocolate gift.

Did you know that loving yourself is one of the easiest ways to self-fulfillment and happiness? This year, for National Lovers’ Day, RED Chocolate is promoting self-love with a free giveaway (and some fun, interesting facts too).

Oxytocin, the Love Hormone

Sometimes we forget how important of a role our hormones play in our everyday mood, diet, lifestyle choices, and more. The endocrine system uses hormones to control and coordinate many bodily functions in both humans and animals. Our energy levels, growth, development, and responses to injury and stress are all connected to our hormones.

Oxytocin is known as the love hormone and is responsible for creating anti-stress effects such as reduced blood pressure and cortisol levels. Cortisol is the body’s stress hormone. It is no secret that oxytocin can be released through stimulation and other senses. Touching, feeling, hearing, smelling, and seeing certain objects, foods, sights, sounds, and smells help us feel closer and connected to ourselves and others. Activities such as this release oxytocin into the body.

Without a doubt, cuddling and hugging loved ones, being intimate with a significant other (or ourselves), and eating certain foods send happy signals to our brains. Of course, eating chocolate is included in this list. Have you ever noticed that your mood perks up when you are eating tasty chocolate?

Self-Love & National Lovers’ Day 2022

To emphasize, National Lovers’ Day is not excluded to couples or people in love. Spending time with friends and family can also release oxytocin. Especially, being a lover of yourself and spending time doing self-care is important to your happiness and releasing oxytocin. Getting a massage, exercising, or eating a delicious, good-for-you chocolate bar are great examples of self-love. In fact, take some time to love yourself with RED’s self-love tips. Simply, taking a break alone and eating some chocolate, or sharing chocolate with others can do you a world of good.
