Dark chocolate may be correlated with reduced probability of clinically relevant depressive symptoms. Extra dark chocolate, made with at least 70% cocoa has been proven to lower the body's main stress hormone, cortisol.
Furthermore, dark chocolate offers plenty of magnesium and benefits the brain and heart.
Cocoa / extra dark chocolate contains methylxanthines (a polyphenol) which enhances the brain body, reverse insulin block, lowers blood pressure, and protects the nervous system.
