Eating a little dark chocolate a day can improve your well-being. Studies by scientists have shown that chocolate helps fight depression and makes us happier 4 times! Therefore, keep a bar of chocolate on hand - at work and at home, but this does not mean that you need to eat the whole chocolate daily.
Those who love chocolate are resistant to depression.
Studies on the effect of chocolate on the body were carried out jointly by a team of scientists from the University of Calgary, London University College and the Alberta Health Service (Canada). The tests were attended by 13.5 thousand adults.
Scientists took into account such factors from the life of the subjects as education, marital status, financial status, level of physical activity and chronic diseases. It turned out that those of the subjects who use dark chocolate 2 times a day have a less depressed mood than those who do not eat it at all. 25% of chocolate lovers are less likely to suffer from depression, regardless of the type of product (dark or milk chocolate, in the form of tiles or sweets).
To find out what is the relationship between chocolate consumption and mood, you need to conduct additional research, scientists say. So far, only the fact that chocolate contains substances that cause a feeling of happiness is known.
For those who suffer from depression, it’s too early to cancel their antidepressants and move on to eating chocolate. Researchers want to analyze the biological relationship between mental processes and eating this dessert. When it is found, it will be possible to develop a regimen for the administration of chocolate as an antidepressant.
