Chocolate, monamour! We’ve all tried it, when we are a bit down in the dumps. What could be better than a little chocolate that is so comforting?! The latest studies give us a hand by accumulating data on its antioxidant properties, owed to the richness of the flavonoids. Chocolate stimulates endorphins, considered the hormones of happiness by experts. These substances help to reduce stress, slow aging and reduce sensitivity to pain. However, it is necessary that the chocolate be strictly dark, at least 70%, thus ensuring a very high percentage of cacao. Of course, also here you should use common sense. Don’t eat a whole bar every night, but rather two or three squares once in a while, eaten slowly.
