Chocolate Helps to Prevent "Bad"
Cholesterol
Chocolate contains the same phenolics that are found in red wine,
phenolics are believed to help prevent so-called "bad" cholesterol
from clogging arteries. In addition, the stearic acid found in chocolate
decreases the liver's output of fat and lowers the production of "bad"
cholesterol.
Chocolate is Low in Caffeine
Chocolate is comparatively low in caffeine. For example a one-ounce
piece of milk chocolate contains approximately 6 milligrams of caffeine
while a seven-ounce cup of decaffeinated instant coffee contains
3 milligrams of caffeine and a seven-ounce cup of caffeinated instant
coffee contains 65 milligrams of caffeine.
Chocolate Makes You Feel Great
Chocolate is part of a healthy, balanced diet and it makes you feel
great! A substance in chocolate called theobromine triggers the
release of endorphins, which are chemicals, produced by the brain,
that act like a natural antidepressant and can temporarily relieve
the "blues".
Chocolate Helps You Live Longer
Research proves that candy eaters live almost a year longer than
those who abstain.
Chocolate Is Good For You
Doctors now say that chocolate is good for you! Research has confirmed
that chocolate is a good source of the kind of antioxidants found
in tea. But actually, the antioxidant content of chocolate is four
times that of tea. Plus, the fat in chocolate can help your immune
system and it can also help outwit cytokines by reducing your susceptibility
to infections and inflammation.
Chocolate Won’t Cause Acne
Scientists have concluded that pure chocolate won't cause acne.
