Eat Chocolate and Be Healthy - studies proven
I found this article on how chocolate reacts with the body. I just pulled parts of this article, you will find a link to the full article below.
Chocolate contains a compound called PEA, that stimulates the nervous system, triggers the release of endorphins, which have an opiate like effect on the brain and take you quickly to your happy place. Chocolate also triggers the release of serotonin, the happy neurotransmitter. This effect is more profound in women than men.
In the 18th century, French doctors prescribed chocolate to women with broken hearts, and we've been self-medicating ourselves ever since.
Good quality chocolates are made with cocoa butter, which is comprised of about one-third oleic acid, a fat like that found in olive oil. Oleic acid has been shown to lower both total and LDL cholesterol.
It's important to read the labels, though, because not all chocolate is made with cocoa butter.
Chocolate is also rich in antioxidants. Studies have shown that flavonoids, which are found in cocoa, lower the risks of heart disease, lung and prostate cancer and type- 2 diabetes.
If you consume your chocolate with fruit or nuts, your health benefits are even greater.
The best chocolate contains at least 70 percent cocoa — typical milk chocolate bars may contain only 40 percent. The higher the cocoa percentage, the healthier the chocolate.
