Chocolate can up your serotonin, phenylethlamine, and endorphins to make you feel happy as a playful puppy.
Here are health benefits you can reap from eating chocolate:
-Chocolate can replenish women menstruating with magnesium, iron, potassium, and vitamins when their menstruation cycles have drained them of energy.
-Sweet, rich dark chocolate can help you maintain good cardiovascular health. Have at least one or two servings of dark chocolate every week. This will lower your risk of heart failure by 1/3rd.
-Dark chocolate can maintain low blood pressure if you one square of dark chocolate a day because dark chocolate includes flavonoids and antioxidant compounds that make veins and arteries more flexible. If you are not a fan of dark chocolate, you can substitute it with a few apples a day.
