All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schulz

Chocolate lovers rejoice! Studies have shown that dark chocolate is actually good for your brain.

Healthy Chocolate?

Turns out chocolate, in its natural form, isn’t bad for you. In fact, there are many health benefits to chocolate.

For instance, chocolate has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain.¹ Also, dark chocolate contains health-promoting properties that support a positive mood, the ability to think clearly, and a healthy cardiovascular system.

7 Ways Dark Chocolate Can Boost the Brain and Body

Benefits of Dark Chocolate Include:

1. Loaded with flavonoids² and other polyphenols, which offer numerous benefits

2. High in fiber

3. A substantial source of B vitamins

4. Filled with a variety of antioxidants

5. Rich in essential minerals including calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium

6. Beneficial for circulation in the body

7. A good source of N-acylethanolamines, which can stimulate the brain’s built-in cannabinoid receptors to help reduce negative thoughts and feelings

Perhaps you were already familiar with some of the benefits of dark chocolate. Now let’s see how much you know about the origins of chocolate and what makes it so special…

Fun Facts About Chocolate

• Chocolate is made from beans in the fruit of the tropical Theobroma cacao The earliest use of chocolate dates back to ancient American civilizations. For centuries, dark chocolate has been honored for its healing and medicinal qualities.
• Aztecs and Mayans drank a form of chocolate made from natural cacao beans. They believed it provided strength and energy.
• When Europeans first brought cacao home from the Americas, they used it as an all-purpose tonic to treat dozens of health conditions including sleeplessness. They referred to chocolate as “the food of the gods.”
• Chocolate contains a wide variety of brain-active substances, including phenylethylamine or PEA, a psycho-active compound that may alert your brain that something fun is about to happen. It acts as a stimulant that makes you feel really good when you eat it, probably by increasing brain dopamine activity. Chocolate also increases serotonin³ (the “don’t worry, be happy” neurotransmitter) activity in your brain.

Sadly, not all the facts about chocolate are positive.

The Dark Side of Chocolate

Most commercial chocolate bars are processed, loaded with artificial chemicals and filled with unhealthy ingredients like sugar, dairy, and synthetic flavors. These ingredients virtually cancel out chocolate’s powerful health benefits. So, while native chocolate (cacao) itself is healthy for you, all the added ingredients are not.
