What is your first impression when it comes to Chocolate?

But then i was shocked when i read OMG FACTS!
on the Health Benefits of Chocolate.

These are the BENEFITS OF CHOCOLATE:


  • Relieves PMS Symptoms

  • Chocolate is an excellent source of magnesium and magnesium is extremely helpful in easing menstrual cramps. Each 100 grams of pure chocolate or cocoa contains about 500 mg of this essential mineral. So, you have a good reason to eat chocolate before and during your periods.

  • Boosts Your Mood

  • Whenever you are feeling low, take a bite of chocolate and kick out your feelings of low-esteem. Chocolate contains a number of compounds responsible for stimulating your mood and inducing calmness, such as theobromine, caffeine, phenylethylamine, tryptophan, and so on. It also increases the production of endorphins in your body which reduces the ability of your body to feel pain and induces feel-good sensations.

  • Lowers Cholesterol

  • Chocolate contains flavonoids in high amounts that have been proved to reduce the amount of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the body. Though chocolate contains a significant amount of fats, most of them are in the form of stearic acid, which has no effect on the cholesterol levels.

  • Prevents Heart Diseases

  • Due to the high content of flavonoids in chocolate, it helps in lowering the risk of heart disease. The flavonoids assist in preventing fatty substances in the blood from oxidizing and clogging arteries. The antioxidant properties of chocolate fight against the free radicals in the body responsible for heart disease and other related health problems.

  • Prevents Cancer

  • Antioxidants are responsible for fighting against and destroying harmful free radicals in the body . These free radicals are the main cause behind cancer. Chocolate contains antioxidants in large quantities. Every 100 grams of chocolate contains 13,120 ORACs (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Units).

  • Increases Libido

  • For those of you who want to have a better love and sex life, have loads of chocolate. Researches reveal that women who eat more of chocolate get more feelings of sexual desire. As a result, there is a better and improved sexual function in chocoholics. Having chocolate just before sex releases endorphins in the body due to which the body feels great amount of relaxation and satisfaction.

  • Benefits Your Teeth

  • Your dentist must have strictly instructed you to stay away from chocolates lest they damage your surviving teeth, especially after you have got two of them removed recently. But believe it, chocolate is not that bad for your teeth as you always thought them to be. The cocoa of the chocolate contains certain substances that kill the bacteria responsible for causing tooth decay, thereby giving you cavities. Thus, it is the sugar that causes the trouble and not the cocoa.

  • Improves Your Skin

  • Not just for your body and teeth, chocolate is regarded as a great moisturizer for your skin, as it makes the skin soft, supple, and beautiful. The flavonoids in cocoa absorb UV light from sun rays and protect the skin from tanning and burning, thereby improving its texture and appearance. Further, these flavonoids also help in reducing wrinkles and slowing down the ageing process.
