It is only until recently that people are aware that chocolate is actually good for your health. Oh well, blame it on the European patisseurs who just love to marry chocolate and excess of high-calorie sugar xD. It's not only that chocolate does not fit its notorious calorie-associated reputation, but it actually enhances your health. What does it do, exactly? Here are 10 things health-aware people love about chocolate:
1. Chocolate is made from plants, from cocoa beans, and thus contains a lot of benefits that are associated with dark-colored beans such as anti-oxidants, which induces cell regeneration and slows down our aging process :D2. Chocolate contains flavonoid, which produces nitric oxide, which in turn helps relieve blood pressure and balance certain hormones in human body.
3. Dark Chocolate is especially good for your heart and cardiovascular system.
4. Chocolate is also known to reduce LDL Cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) in human body.
5. Chocolate contains endorphin, which stimulates the pleasure center in our brain, and according to research it even induces more pleasure than long, feisty kiss ;)
6. The serotonin in chocolate helps relieve depression (more paperwork= more chocolate :D)
7. It contains a bit of caffeine, which stimulates our brain activity ^_^b (which is a good thing because it tastes a lot better than coffee or tea O_o)
8. Fats contained in chocolate does not impact your cholesterol level. The fats in chocolate are oleic acid (healthy monounsaturated fat that is also found in olive oil), Stearic Acid (which has neutral effect on cholesterol level) and Palmitic Acid.
9. It is a complex food with more than 300 chemicals in it, which makes it tasty and exquisite, and most of them are good for your body =D
10. The sugar content in chocolate will give you a rush kick for your daily activities =D
Warning: Chocolate still contains sugar and fat, so it is healthy only if you take no more than 100 grams of chocolate a day.
Hope this information is useful for you guys! Have fun and take care! ;D
