The day after tomorrow is
White Day. On this day, people give candy and presents to their loved ones.
Why don¡¯t you give dark chocolate
on this White Day instead of candy? According to a new study, it helps fight against stress!
In the study published in the recent issue of the Journal of Proteome
Research, American researchers reported the positive effects of dark
chocolate. They said that eating dark chocolate is good for the heart as well as helps combat emotional stress.
The study found that eating about 40 grams of dark chocolate a day
for two weeks reduced levels of stress
hormones in the bodies of people feeling highly stressed. According to the researchers,
dark chocolate can help reduce risk factors for heart disease and other illnesses, too.
Many studies
show that dark chocolate is actually very good for the
body. However, there was little evidence on how chocolate
helped relieve stress until now.
After studying stressed people for a few weeks, the recent study suggest that chocolate actually
helps ease emotional stress.
So, when you feel stressed, try eating a piece of dark chocolate.
Soon enough, you will feel
much better. However, it must be dark chocolate since milk chocolate contains lots of sugar and fat. Let¡¯s
eat lots of dark chocolate and feel more relaxed. |
