Biochemically

Biochemically, love is just like eating large amounts of chocolate — John Milton, 1608-1674, English poet & intellectual

Chocolate [🍫] is a food that I’ve previously binged on to the extent that it aided me being c.20kg heavier than I am today, with c.26% body fat at that point! Today I’m at 11% body fat & maintaining my weight ex-the 20kg of fat.

Whilst I’ve staved off 🍫 for the best part of 3yrs to help reduce my weight, over the past 2weeks I was back on the proverbial “chocolate” wagon (weak mind): binging for that short-term sugar rush to fill an energy void & feel better when down, only to crash several hours later, effecting nothing really +IVE for the long run, & made to feel guilty b/c of it.

Whilst the aforementioned crash & burn isn’t constructive, in a more measured form, science shows that 🍫 is more efficient than many drugs in preventing various aliments, so long as it has 60-75% cocoa in it.

INTERESTINGLY 🍫 contains L-arginine, an amino acid that can be an effective natural SEX-ENHANCER. Dark 🍫 possesses ingredients that affect our mood, energy & SEXUAL function in +IVE ways & has health benefits for the heart as follows:

INCREASES blood flow to SEXUAL organs: L-arginine = an effective natural SEX-ENHANCER.

ELEVATES MOOD: 🍫 is known as a super LIBIDO food b/c it’s a rich source of phenylethylamine = a stimulant & mood elevator, that can induce sensations of euphoria promoting the production of dopamine = enhances pleasure.

ENERGY BOOST: 🍫 is an aphrodisiac b/c it contains theobromine, that works on the central nervous system, causing one to feel stimulated & excited.

BENEFITS the HEART: There’s a profound connection btn a healthy physical heart & our capacity to feel, love deeply & to live fully. Our heart is the organ associated with love, caring, bonding & intimacy. L-arginine in 🍫 lowers blood pressure. Also in 🍫, are flavonols which help the body’s cells resist damage, prevent plaque build-up in the hearts arteries, in turn improving blood flow through the heart.

So, if you’re going to indulge, DARK🍫 is best. Watch for 🍫 that has added extras as those fats & calories can have -IVE health effects.
