Nanni Moretti had already understood this, and in fact his eccentric characters all make extensive use of it, but now to affirm the calming and anti-stress power of chocolate comes a research published in the Journal of Proteome Research.
But be careful to imitate the mythical scene from the film Bianca, because according to the scientists of the Nestlè Research Center in Lausanne in Switzerland who conducted the study, it would be the dark chocolate to ensure beneficial effects on tiredness, anxiety and nervousness.
The recommended dose for lowering the stress hormones? 40,5 grams per day for a period of two weeks. A minimum quantity that would not affect the line, and trigger the addiction mechanisms found, as we have seen, in recent research on the effects of chocolate and in general of foods rich in sugars.
Researchers coordinated by Sunil Kochhar have, in fact, administered to 30 people, classified as not very anxious or very anxious, the indicated daily dose of dark chocolate for two weeks, finding, at the end of the sweet treatment, the antioxidants present in bitter cocoa had influenced in alleviating it stress emotional. The analysis of blood and urine of the sample of patients analyzed revealed a net decrease in hormones related to stress, especially in the most anxious people, making the researchers assert that a moderate and constant use of dark chocolate, decreasing the factors of risk related, would represent a panacea for cardiovascular diseases.
Recently redeemed also from the accusation of being a factor that proves acne, chocolate, therefore, continues to amaze with its infinite properties, even if, given the small size of the sample studied and - allow me - the interests of the client of the research, these results should be taken with a grain of salt and, certainly, should not be the reason for endorsing our feasting using the chocolate as a substitute for a good mood.
