Chocolate For Healthy Aging

 Have you heard the expression, “If you are feeling down or stressed, have a piece of chocolate”?

Chocolate has multiple qualities.

  • Anandamide, which stimulates blissful feelings, is in chocolate.
  • Chocolate contains a good quantity of magnesium, which gives energy.
  • Rich in antioxidants as well chocolate protects the body against the aging of cells.
  • B vitamins, associated with brain health, are also found in chocolate.

Dark chocolate is best as it is lowest in sugar, while white chocolate is to be avoided as it contains mostly sugar and coco butter.
