Chocolate (sweet and delicious food)

Chocolate, originally from Central and South America, originated from "xocolatl", which means "bitter water". Its main raw material, cocoa beans, is produced in the narrow strip within the equator latitude 18.

The main ingredient of chocolate is cocoa butter, which contains theobromine, which is toxic to many animals. However, for human beings, theobromine is a healthy anti-sedative ingredient, so eating chocolate has the effects of lifting spirits and enhancing excitement. Cocoa contains phenylethylamine, and there are rumors that can make people feel in love.

Pharmacological knowledge

Chocolate contains more than 300 known chemicals. Scientists have analyzed and experimented with these substances one by one for hundreds of years, and in the process, they have continuously discovered and proved the vivid pharmacological effects of various components of chocolate on human body.

Chocolate is a natural guardian against heart disease. It is rich in multi-source phenol compounds, which play a considerable role in preventing the oxidation or accumulation of fatty substances in human arteries.

The main symptom of heart disease, coronary heart disease, is usually caused by the oxidation of LDL (low concentration lipoprotein) in human blood and the formation of obstacles, which causes cardiovascular obstruction.

The phenol compound of chocolate can not only prevent the fat of chocolate from rotting and turning sour, but also be quickly absorbed by blood vessels after being eaten into human body, and the antioxidant components in the blood are obviously increased, and it quickly acts as a powerful antioxidant to prevent LDL oxidation and inhibit platelet activity in blood vessels. These phenolic substances play an important role in keeping the blood flow unblocked in human blood vessels.
