Chocolate can actually calm coughs: word of science

Chocolate is better! In the unfortunate case you are struggling with an annoying cough, it is at a bar of chocolate that you will have to aim. Instead of the traditional syrup, there are those who swear, in fact, that chocolate works miracles and is a completely natural remedy.

He is Alyn Morice, a professor of the English Hull Cough Clinic, who already some time ago devoted his attention to the theobromine contained in cocoa, considering it a natural and effective weapon against cough symptoms.

Today Morice, head of cardiovascular and respiratory studies, reinforces his thesis, stating that Nibbling on a bar of milk chocolate is more effective than store-bought medicine for coughing.

"Chocolate can calm a cough, I know it might sound like something Mary Poppins, but as an independent clinician who has spent years studying the mechanism of coughing, I can assure you that the proof is actually a solid, sweet bar," he says.

How is it possible? According to the professor, it's all about the emollient properties of chocolate and its viscosityIts consistency, in fact, works by forming a coating on the nerve endings of the throat, suppressing the urge to cough.

"This demulcating effect explains why honey, lemon and other sugary syrups can help, but I think chocolate has something more."

Morice arrived at these conclusions by sampling 163 people: he found that those who took cocoa-based medicine instead of regular medicine had significant improvements in just two days.

So the next time you start feeling that nagging tickle in the back of your throat, look for a chocolate bar, but one of these 10 DIY natural cough remedies and syrups will work great too!
