It’s been a while, Earth Enrichers! How have you been? Well, we’ve been great and we have put together some new and interesting stuff for you. This week’s topic is dedicated to chocolate. Yes, we said it, CHOCOLATE. But not just any kind. We’re going to be discussing something revolutionary about the world’s most loved but underappreciated dark chocolate.
Why do we say dark chocolate is loved but sometimes unappreciated? Well, it has some amazing health benefits but it tends not to be the first choice for a common snack. Most would lean towards dark chocolate’s creamier counterpart milk chocolate, which is, in essence, not all that great for you. Now, dark chocolate on the other hand has some pretty nifty health benefits and uses.
For instance, it is known for being very good for the heart. In fact, in small doses it can lower blood pressure because it can improve the flow of blood in your arteries. With the increase of blood flow through the arteries and heart, it makes it easier for the brain to function. This can help prevent strokes…not to mention that there’s a supply of antioxidants per every deliciously rich bite.
Guys, if you haven’t tried dark chocolate, we’d recommend you give it a whirl. It couldn’t hurt! It might actually be good for you.
The EE 411: Dark Chocolate and Anxiety
There have been studies that show that dark chocolate can help relieve stress and anxiety. You see, it can release serotonin which relieves stress. In some cases, it can also give you that much needed woosah moment. You say you want more proof? As if serotonin is not enough, chocolate is also responsible for being a mood raiser. Theobromine, the stuff in chocolate that dogs are allergic to, is responsible for creating positive vibes. We don’t know about you, but dark chocolate is starting to look even better already.
