I read this article from readers digest (February 2008)...I like chocolate so much, that why i post this topic, the impact of chocolate’s luxurious taste on the senses has been compared to the feeling in love, it true??
1.Chocolate as medication
When we it chocolate, actually it triggers the release of feel-good endorphins(natural opiates) in the brain.
2.Chocolate as health food
Chocolate contains very high level of catechins (compound that act as antioxidants), chocolate also source of essential nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, niacin and riboflavin.
3.Limit our intake
Chocolate can be included in a healthy diet, as long as we are active and are having plenty of fruit and vegetables. To obtain without adding too much fat to our diet, we must limit ourselves to 25g a day.
