I did some research about chocolates.
Here Are Some of the Health Benefits of Chocolate:
Cacao, the source of chocolate, contains antibacterial agents that fight tooth decay. However, chocolate with a high sugar content will negate this benefit. Dark chocolate contains significantly higher amounts of cacao and lower amounts of sugar than white chocolate, making it more healthful.
The smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves, resulting in relaxation.
Chocolate contains phenyl ethylamine, a mild mood elevator.
The cocoa butter in chocolate contains oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fat which can raise good cholesterol.
Men who eat chocolate regularly live on average one year longer than those who don’t.
The flavanoids in chocolate help keep blood vessels elastic.
Chocolate increases antioxidant levels in the blood.
The carbohydrates in chocolate raise serotonin levels in the brain, resulting in a sense of well-being.
