By this time, the positive effects of eating chocolate are pretty much known and understood by all. Serotonin levels increase in the brain, and this alone perks up response time, not to mention a fairly happy attitude about it all.
Quite a few other chemical reactions occur also . . . chocolate's ingredients include cocoa, which contains caffeine, that popular mood-booster; and a bit of tryptophan, which tends to relax and relieve developing tension. Then there are flavanoids and vitamins C, which fight free radicals, those demonic little atoms, molecules, or ions with unpaired electrons which are chemically reactive and damage healthy cells.
So . . . chocolate's benefits are long known and widely extolled. It contains high fiber, is low calorie; helps prevent inflammation, can even become helpful in relieving allergies, and is readily available. Dark chocolate has become more and more popular since a marketing campaign initiated a few years ago brought these wonderful and satisfying facts to widespread attention.
Besides, it's delicious. That slightly sweet taste with its ever-so-subtly bitter flavor wisp just flips the 'up' switch when consumed. So simple, too. Just choose from hundreds of packaged offerings . . . some imported from Germany or Ecuador, or Peru . . . places of cocoa-consumption fame, and thus exotic so far as chocolate concoctions may go.
Go ahead, do it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Forget any negative thought, eat chocolate. Realize that any guilt will evaporate once it reaches one's neurological circuits, so why wait?
Just do it. Friends and family, co-workers, and even those who must come in contact with you in traffic will appreciate your dietary efforts in this regard.
Experience sublime pleasure for an instant and distribute relief at the same time.
