A bit about chocolate

A drink from cocoa beans was drunk by the Mayan tribes. Columbus brought him to Europe, and for a long time the Spaniards kept the recipe for making cocoa a secret. But, all the secret someday becomes apparent – many people in European countries have learned the taste of chocolate.

In addition to the excellent taste, in the composition of chocolate you can find a large number of healthy trace elements, flavonoids, the hormone of happiness serotonin, and the antidepressant phenylethylamine. By the amount of antioxidants, this delicacy is ahead of dry red wine, improving the circulatory system, providing protection against free radicals, preventing the appearance of malignant cancerous tumors.

Swiss scientists have proved the ability of dark chocolate to “inhibit” the development of vascular and heart diseases, prevent loss of elasticity of blood vessels, prevent narrowing of arteries, improve the blood circulation process and exclude the possibility of blood clots. It was found that one bar of chocolate eaten per week has a rejuvenating effect on the body and prolongs life. This is possible due to the content of catechins-antioxidants in the product.
