I'm sure you will have all read numerous articles over the last few years how a study found that patients suffering from CFS experienced significally less fatigue after eating 45grms 1.6 ounces daily of special dark chocolate.
Impaired sleep is common among CFS patients and its stated that a possible explanation for the symptom relief that participants experienced is that it is known to increase brain levels of the relaxing, mood-lifting, sleep-enhacing neurotransmitter serotonin, which help to regulate mood and sleep and it has also been shown to have pain killing properties, amongst its other benefits!!!
With all the other benefits chocolate can have for other things like reducing the risk of death from coronary heart disease, cancer and stroke, its a wonder its not advised by your Doctor or advertised this way.
It does say however that this is not a green light to go out and eat copious amounts of your favourite chocolate treats. Oooops!!! should have read that first.
No, but seriously I do love my chocolate but I must admit I am not a lover of the 85% cocoa solids, which is the type they want you to eat. But with all my sleeping problems I feel as though I am suffering from Chronic Fatigue as well as I feel so exhausted all the time. So I am going to buy the right chocolate and take it as directed and hope I may be able to reap some of the benefits they say it can give you. I will keep you posted.
Meanwhile I've bought some Meditation tapes from one of our online buddies Lizian and I cannot wait to try one tonight.
