Despite the reliability of studies from British universities, I find it hard to believe that most women prefer a good chocolate to an orgasm. I am not even sure that the contact of melted chocolate with the tongue is as pleasant as the most passionate of kisses, as an article in BBC News states, but what is certain is that this substance of bitter nature and an intense Carmelite, has therapeutic properties that well deserve an altar.

Decalogue of San Chocolate

1. Improves mood and premenstrual symptoms. Dark chocolate contains caffeine, a stimulant that fights bad character, and pentylamine, a substance responsible for that pleasant, imprecise and unrepeatable sensation we feel when we are “in love”.

2. Reduces the risk of heart attacks. A study released by the American Medical University of John Hopkins ensures that ingesting a few ounces of dark chocolate daily reduces the risk of a heart attack by 50%.

3. Lowers blood pressure. This good action is blamed on cocoa flavonoids.

4. Prevents cell damage. Merit for flavonoids again. Damage at the cellular level is a catalyst for old age and also for other systemic damage in the body.

5. Increases blood supply to the brain. A study by the University of Nottingham ensures that after drinking a cup of dark chocolate increases the arrival of blood to certain brain areas, only equivalent to that which arrives in two or three hours without consuming a food rich in… flavonoids.

6. Good remedy against fatigue. Eating an ounce and a half a day of dark chocolate helps you feel less fatigue. Try and see.

7. Regulates blood sugar and prevents diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Once again this benefit is due to that group of non-nitrogenous plant pigments with broad antioxidant effect called flavonoids, which although tea is also found, yellow and red vegetables, has a significant presence in cocoa and its derivatives).

8. Raise good cholesterol and reduce bad. Cholesterol is just a trigger for obstructive diseases of the arteries and heart and circulatory ailments, consuming chocolate helps metabolize those harmful lipids.

9. Relieves cough. Theobromine, one of the components of cocoa, acts on the sensory nerve that ends in the vagus nerve, one of those involved in the lung-brain connection.

10. Stimulates cognitive performance. A study by the Jesuit Wheeling University of Virginia found that chocolate contains substances that act as stimulants, including theobromine, phenethylamine, and caffeine, vital to enhance cognitive performance, a process in which memory participates, in its different forms, and that determines reaction time and ability to solve problems.
