CHOCOLATE!


Good side and bad side of chocolate...

Chocolate is a psychoactive food. What is psychoactive? Psychoactive is subjective changes in consciousness and mood. A research from 800 harvard student says that people who are chocoholic live longer than others. It is caused by the high level of polyphenol in chocolate. Polyphenol can reduce the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins so that, it can prevent heart disease. Chocolate also can increase visual memory and cognitive performence as claimed by Dr Bryan Raudenbush. He also said that by eating chocolate it can improved impulse control and reaction time. That it for the good thing about chocolate, now we go trough to the bad side of chocolate.

Obviously, eating too much of any food may cause health problems. The cocoa butter in chocolate does contain saturated fat, which can increase blood cholesterol levels, and high cholesterol can cause heart disease.
As a result, dont eat chocolate to much because it can harm you but, it also can be good for you if you eat it with a suitable amount.
