Chocolate is the Best Remedy against Emotional Tension

The fact that chocolate is not only a delicacy but also a medicine surprises no-one nowadays. Now you have one more important reason to treat your sweethearts to chocolate on St. Valentine’s Day besides the romantic one. Chocolate is an effective remedy for emotional tension. This was the conclusion of clinical tests published in the Proteomic Research online journal.

Clinical tests conducted on volunteers showed that the intake of about 1-1.5 oz dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduces the level of stress hormones, alleviates the feeling of anxiety and helps people feel at ease. This delicacy beloved by all also partly corrects other biochemical disturbances linked with stress.

The research shows that eating a bit of chocolate every day is enough to turn back pathometabolism in an individual. Scientists put it down to salubrious substances and antioxidants contained in cacao beans.
