We all know that chocolate It gives us a unique feeling of well-being and that we turn to it for the pleasure it brings to our senses, but science has determined that it is not only the sense of taste that is benefited with this superfood, but that smell allows a form of stimulation in our brain, which would activate the endocrine system and therefore the immune system.
This is how the aroma of chocolate is, it would have the ability to stimulate organic defenses, through smell, explaining in turn that feeling of well-being that we all feel just by perceiving its aroma.
This boost of well-being or "feel good"would raise the levels of endorphins (natural hormones of well-being), which lead chocolate to receive the popular name of "mood lifter".
But this would not end there, since it in turn can improve the brain's ability to do mental calculations, as shown by a study where a team of volunteers found that mathematical equations became easier after eating dark chocolate, the more rich in flavonoids, which improve blood vessel function and promote oxygen flow to the brain, explaining the condition.
