Chocolate makes us feel like we’re falling in love & having great sex:

That pretty much explains it all right there. In a nutshell, chocolate is SATISFYING.
It might help to keep you smart
A nice mug of cocoa might also help an ageing brain, a recent study in the journal Hypertension found. Elderly participants who received high flavonol chocolate drinks had improved mental performance after eight weeks.
It’s good for bones
This is where the sweeter, less cocoa-rich bars actually score better, as they count as a dairy-rich food that helps keep your bones strong.
A small (50g) bar of white chocolate contains one sixth of the recommended daily allowance of calcium, and the same size bar of milk chocolate contains a little less.
It could help with chronic fatigue
A small study of 10 chronic fatigue patients carried out at Hull York Medical School, found that those given 45g of 85% cocoa chocolate daily reported less fatigue, anxiety and depression than those given placebo chocolate with low antioxidants.
Chocolate flavors AMAZING:
One of the things we love most about chocolate is the simple pleasure of eating it. Never under guess the power of simple pleasures in a woman’s life – just allowing ourselves to eat what makes us joyful is some of the best medicine for our minds and bodies.
