Medical studies have proven that dark chocolate can energize and help you focus. A growing body of scientific research has shown dark chocolate has a wide range of health benefits relating to: antioxidant activity, blood pressure, cognition, cardiovascular health, immunity, cholesterol, diabetes, anti-inflammatory effects, and mood elevation - even tooth decay, if you can believe it. Specifically, chocolate contains all of these goodies (among literally hundreds of other compounds):
* Theobromine for focused energy
* Flavanols (powerful antioxidants) for healthy cells, happy heart, and increased brain power
* Tryptophan, an essential amino acid that the brain transforms into serotonin (which stimulates endorphins, creating euphoria and relaxation)
* Phenethylamine (PEA), "the love drug", a chemical also produced by our body when we fall in love; releases dopamine in our brain's "pleasure centers", creating a sense of wellbeing and mild euphoria
* Anandamide, a neurotransmitter that activates the same receptors in our brain that respond to cannabis
Dark chocolate is truly The Last Good Drug.
