Ask almost any female and they can give you a dozen reasons why the world needs chocolate. Whether it happens to be “that time of the month”, it keeps me “calm and relaxed”, it makes my skin glow or it just makes my boyfriend more sexy. The list of notable reasons why chocolate is so important is as long as the first chapter of many books on the library shelves.

Pure chocolate itself has a long history, dating back about three thousand years in Central America and Mexico. Cacao seeds, after harvesting, were originally used for two purposes. The first was a bartering and trade tool. Hence it was a form of payment for goods received. The better the perceived value of a product, the more seeds it cost for the purchase. Secondly, the cacao seeds were ground up and used as a beverage.

Advance ahead and as the years went by the seeds started to become ground into a fine powder (now known as cocoa powder) or liquefied into cocoa butter. By combining these two with other ingredients, the world of confectionery goods was born.

The Pros Of Eating Or Using Chocolate In Our Everyday Lives

Are you one of those that just can’t do without an occasional chocolate fix? Here’s some of the reasons chocolate happens to be good for you.

• The number one reported answer to this questions is pleasure. Most people just say” it makes me feel good”.
• high concentrations of antioxidants in the cacao nibs of dark chocolate are beneficial to the circulatory system
• research has definitely proven 70 – 85% dark chocolate used 3 times per week reduces your blood pressure readings and lowers your risk of a heart attack
• testing has shown verifiable beneficial links to its ability to fight off cancerous cell and tumors because of the high concentrations of flavonoids in dark chocolate
• as an anti-cough formula, the theobromine in dark chocolate is better than codeine at inhibiting coughing spells
• as an anti-diarrheal, the flavonoids inhibit troublesome diarrhea symptoms
• when it is used as a skin toner and conditioner, cocoa butter softens the skin and retains the elasticity of the skin’s texture
• many people love to use cocoa butter as a massage oil or for a body polish when used with a small exfoliating (scrub) brush

But as with everything, chocolate also has its downside of health benefits to the human body.

• excess consumption of chocolate ( especially milk chocolate and white chocolate will lead to obesity.) This is because of the high concentrations of fats, sugars and milk products used in manufacturing
• the theobromine levels in chocolate are commonly toxic to many household pets
• chocolate has always been blamed for the promoter of acne in all generations. Research though seems to confirm the cacao is not the problem, the problem lies with the milk, sugars or corn syrup and fats as the troublesome source causing acne
• very many chocoholics admit their love for it but they mention they seem to be allergic to chocolate. Science has disclosed the problem lies not with the cacao itself, but with many of the added ingredients used to make the finished product.

So whether you are using your chocolate as a source of food, fun, or as a beauty regimen, the benefits of chocolate far exceed beyond just the customary it tastes so-o-o good!
