Eating Chocolate Can Make Us Look Younger?


Eating Chocolate Can Make Us Look Younger?

Eating chocolate doesn’t make us look younger, but prevent us from getting older. This is to say that we look younger than our age. Why?

This is because chocolate is chock full of potent antioxidants called phenols, the same as those found in wine. We all grow old throughout the year and old as we all continue to consume more oxygen. Then again, if a person doesn’t breath will eventually die if they want to prevent from getting old; which doesn’t make any sense.

Furthermore, chocolates are a good de-stressing delicacy. This chemical contain in the chocolate, named Phenethylamine, whish is a precursor to the neurotransmitter phenyl ethanolamine. This chemical act as an antidepressant drug which to say,

“Half a chocolate bar – The sweet stuff’s sugar content can raise endorphin levels, and a compound called anandamide is believed to boost person’s mood, which fight stress”

But that doesn’t mean that we must eat chocolate all the time to avoid stress because eating excess chocolates will cause addiction.

Another chemical that contain in the chocolate is theobromine, which was the cause of bitterness in chocolate and could be more effective in treating coughs than codeine, an ingredient in some cough medicines. A 1000mg theobromine tablet is equivalent of about five dark chocolate bars, or over 420 kilojoules, yet chocolates can be treated as medicine. Besides, theobromine is also helpful in treating asthma since it relaxes the smooth muscles, including the ones found in bronchi. Therefore, if you have a cough or asthma, a small piece of chocolates might help.

In conclusion, chocolates indeed can help us all de-stress, somehow prevent us from sickness (not excess in eating chocolates), and yes; we will look younger and healthy.


p.s. Chocolates are really irresistible.
