Oh the love of chocolate is one of the pleasures in life. Not that mass produced kind, but good quality chocolate say from Europe. I find their chocolate is not a sweet and it is just better in texture and taste. Although there are good chocolates in the United States, European can't be beat. And now people are finding out that chocolate the dark kind, is actually good for the body. From the Maya and Aztecs to the kings of England chocolate has been a powerful food. Chocolate is like a best friend but without the back talk, it soothes, it comforts and will energize your body and spirit. Chocolate has a language all its own, it will tell you I love you, I am sorry and anything you want it to say. It makes a great gift if you do not know what else to give.

What our ancestors knew many centuries ago we are discovering the benefits of dark chocolate, such as lowering the blood pressure as it contains a chemical known as epicatechin, it creates a healthy blood flow throughout our bodies. It will not raise your cholesterol, and in fact could lower the LDL cholesterol. It is also an extremely powerful antioxidant. It will fight the free radical damage and can prevent disease. The USDA ranks dark chocolate at the top over green tea when it comes to ORCA (a scale that calculates the antioxidant levels in certain foods.)

Another good reason to eat dark chocolate is it has been said it is good for the teeth. It contains phosphate and other minerals that will not harm your teeth. It will fight decay as it has tannins in it, this protects teeth from cavities. Dark chocolate can help in your digestive system as well. It has been used for centuries to cure diarrhea and other intestinal problems. It can also help with that pesky cough as it coats the throat, relieving the urge to cough all the time.

Some say that dark chocolate can be used as an anti depressant, as we all know that it does. No one has to tell me that one. Eating a piece of dark chocolate boosts your energy level and will help get your mood in a better place. Even smelling it gives one a sense of relaxation. Now these findings do not give you the license to eat a box of dark chocolate in one setting. Taken in moderation, as all things, it will help your overall health and make you enjoy the day.
