Besides being delicious, chocolate generates LIFE

<<Chemically speaking, chocolate really is the world's perfect food>>

As the famous saying goes "Between tastes, flavors and colors doctors discuss" we are all different, in ways of thinking and in lifestyle, many of us like white, others black or simply colors, the same happens with the food, there are many foods and meals that many of us love but others do not, although most people in the world like chocolate, chocolate is a kind of aphrodisiac, chocolate is not a raw material, it is obtained thanks to cocoa and ground sugar that when mixed and processed its final product is a paste that we all popularly know as chocolate, it should also be noted that many producers also add vanilla or cinnamon to the mixture to vary its flavor creating a new style.

As could be evidenced in the old paragraph, to talk about chocolate it is necessary to know its origins, especially that of CACAO, which is a tree native to and from Latin America that produces a fruit that also bears the same name, which is obviously the main ingredient for chocolate. that chocolate can reach us with a great flavor, cocoa in other times, especially that of the Mayans, Incas and Aztecs, was used not only for nutritional purposes but also for medicinal purposes, because it has many characteristics for naturopathic medicine and those who believe In it, on the other hand, due to its properties, especially saturated fats and to a lesser extent monounsaturated fats, it can inject us with energy, which is why it is not recommended to consume this and chocolate for professional athletes or those who carry out intense physical activities.

An extremely interesting fact is that cocoa was brought to Europe especially when America was colonized, approximately in the fifteenth century along with other foods that also originate from this side of the world such as potatoes and tomatoes, on the other hand it is said that the Cocoa and its derivatives such as chocolate are extremely delicious foods and aphrodisiacs, its components have been investigated many times and it is said that they contain endorphins or hormones that are associated with happiness, which in turn contain the power to keep us in a state of well-being, fullness and even pleasure, there have been many scientific studies over the years, thanks to each one many different aspects are discovered every day, it has also been determined that dopamine is a common denominator in these foods, we have all heard about this substance that the brain releases especially when we feel in love or attracted to something or someone, it should also be added that It is a factor that we must also take care of because, like everything in life, some things in excess are bad since this substance is also associated with addictions and the needs that create some aspects of repetition in life.

Chocolate is not only a sexual aphrodisiac, since it has always been cataloged that way, especially since the myth or the story that a Mexica president of the specific time when this product was being colonized and exported to the old continent, only took it before meeting with his harem, from there multiple myths have arisen that make this food, drink and tablet connect with the sexual, but it has multiple benefits such as that it contains many antioxidants more than is thought and therefore helps to delay the signs of age, that is to say, it helps us to maintain ourselves without aging, on the other hand it is a natural element that helps all those who suffer from blood pressure to stabilize it, it is an antidepressant, it helps us to connect with ourselves and to be in a state of fulfillment and happiness.

Today is the international day of chocolate, a day to exalt that it is much more than delicious, a day to inform and spread that it has more benefits than is thought and, above all, benefits that contribute to people's physical health.

A curious fact is that one of the best chocolates is produced mainly in Latin America by Ecuador!
