Chocolate: women's favorite aphrodisiac?

You may have already read or heard it somewhere... Chocolate has the reputation of being an aphrodisiac prized by women because it seems to boost our mood, make us happy and stimulate our sexual desire.

On this Easter weekend, few people will not resist chocolate, whether it is white, milk or 100% cocoa!

But what is the difference between these three types of chocolates? Do they all have exciting virtues?

 

The different variations of chocolates

Did you know that?

White chocolate includes milk, sugar and sometimes flavors but does not contain cocoa. It is made exclusively from cacao butter.

Milk chocolate contains at least 25% cocoa. It is less fat than dark chocolate but sweeter.

Dark chocolate, also known as "bitter chocolate", must contain at least 35% cocoa and 18% cocoa butter to deserve its name.

The first two families of chocolates contain twice as many simple sugars as dark chocolate and should therefore be consumed occasionally.

As for dark chocolate, rich in fiber, it has undeniable nutritional advantages!

 

The benefits of dark chocolate

Cocoa is naturally composed of polyphenols. These are antioxidant properties that help to fight stress in the body's cells and help to limit the development of cardiovascular diseases and cancers.

The more cocoa a dark chocolate has, the more polyphenols it contains.

Dark chocolate is also an important source of magnesium that helps to fight fatigue, stress and anxiety. The more concentrated the cocoa is, the more positively it influences our mood.

And as you know, Gentlemen, a woman in a good mood is often more willing to cuddle... ;-)

 

Cocoa: women love it! 

A large majority of women who love real cocoa will tell you that after consuming it, they have a high mood, feel happy and sexually stimulated.  Why? Due to theobromine and caffeine levels that stimulate blood circulation.

In addition, phenylethylamine, also known as "pleasure hormone", is a natural hormone found in our brain, which is also found in dark chocolate.

Phenylethylamine causes the secretion of dopamine, a hormone responsible for the sensation of pleasure and which help to achieve orgasm...

Women addicted to dark chocolate would have a greater sexual appetite, more desire, more orgasms and, overall, a more fulfilling intimate life.

These surprising characteristics of dark chocolate partly explain why it is so pleasant to eat. But nothing says that a box of chocolates will suffice to spice up your evenings to make them unforgettable... so Gentlemen, never stop doing your best to please women! ;-)

I wish you all my dear readers, Happy Easter holidays!
