✓ No, I don't like eating chocolate because I don't like the taste of it and also it is not very good for health because I am very health conscious so I very rarely eat chocolate.

The phrase 'good for the health' is better expressed as 'good for health' when speaking generally about health benefits or detriments.

✓ Not very often. I only eat chocolate on special occasions like Diwali or a colleague's or a friend's birthday because I'm a very health conscious person.

The phrase 'a birthday of a colleague or a friend' is awkward; possessive form 'a colleague's or a friend's birthday' is more natural and grammatically correct.

× No, I never liked chocolate as a kid. I don't. I didn't used to like the taste of the chocolate.

✓ No, I never liked chocolate as a kid. I don't. I didn't use to like the taste of chocolate.

× I didn't used to like the taste of the chocolate.

✓ I didn't use to like the taste of chocolate.

When speaking generally about chocolate, the article 'the' is unnecessary; 'the chocolate' implies specific chocolate, but here it is general.

× In my opinion, chocolate is popular because it is sweet in taste and it gives a energy boost.

The article 'a' should be 'an' before a word starting with a vowel sound like 'energy'.

× Chocolate boosts up the sugar in the blood which gives a feeling of energy to the body.

✓ Chocolate boosts the sugar in the blood which gives a feeling of energy to the body.

The phrasal verb 'boost up' is less common and 'boost' alone is sufficient and more natural in this context.

× Instead of chocolate you can get fruits or some natural foods which provides health benefits to the people we are providing the gift to.

✓ Instead of chocolate you can get fruits or some natural foods which provide health benefits to the people we are giving the gift to.

The verb 'provide' should agree in number with the plural subject 'fruits or some natural foods' so 'provide' not 'provides'. Also, 'providing the gift to' is awkward; 'giving the gift to' is more natural.
