The power of chocolate was regarded widely with mystery and awe. It was discovered that dark chocolate has antioxidant properties, which can actually help protect the body from damaging oxidative stress. Researchers believe the regulation of nitric oxide production by the flavanols found in dark chocolate could explain its effects on insulin and blood pressure. The flavanols interact with the body to increase nitric oxide bioavailability. One suggested mechanism is insulin-mediated cell signaling, because insulin can modulate several signaling molecules involved in nitric oxide-synthase regulation and results improving insulin resistance and sensitivity as well decreased systolic blood pressure.Chocolate contains endorphins which simulate your brain and senses and cheer you up in general. That’s why some claimed dark chocolate can cure the broken heart and make you happy. Have a bite while the period of feeling down, it helps . . .
The white chocolate, on the other hand, had no effect as adding milk cancels out the chocolate’s antioxidant effects.
