Blood platelets clump together more slowly in chocolate eaters, the studies say.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Chocolate improves blood flow to the brain<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A study by Harvard scientists showed that chocolate improves blood flow to your brain. In this study, the subjects were asked to undergo \u201ctwo weeks of enhanced chocolate intake.\u201d They found that a fortnight of chocolate face-stuffing sped up blood flow through their subject\u2019s middle cerebral arteries.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Chocolate relieves fatigue<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Consuming dark chocolate daily may help patients with chronic fa\u00adtigue syndrome. Researchers think it boosts the neurotransmitters regulating sleep and mood.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Chocolate is good for your skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>According to German scientists, the compounds in dark chocolate, like flavonoids, protect women\u2019s skin from the sun\u2019s UV rays. Researchers at Germany\u2019s Heinrich Heine University exposed chocolate eaters to ultraviolet light and found that after six weeks, they had 15 percent less skin reddening than those who didn\u2019t eat it. After 12 weeks, the chocolate eaters\u2019 skin was 16 percent denser and 42 percent less scaly.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Chocolate decreases stroke risk <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Chocolate contains flavonoids, whose antioxidant properties help fight strokes. A Swedish study found that eating more than 45 grams of chocolate per week\u2014about two bars worth\u2014led to a 20 percent\u00a0decrease in stroke risk among women.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Chocolate can control coughs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This can be a fun and delicious way to kick your cough. It seems that theobromine, one of the sweet\u2019s chemical components, can reduce the activity of the vagus nerve, the part of the brain that triggers coughing fits.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> <strong>Chocolate may prevent cancer<\/strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cocoa contains a compound called pentameric procyanidin, or pentamer, which is useful in cancer treatments. In 2005, researchers from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University treated cancer cells with pentamer. The result showed that pentamer could suppress the proteins necessary for cancer growth and the cells stopped dividing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>If you love to eat chocolate because of its wonderful taste, there is good news that may take you and your chocolate into a different level of relationship.
