According to Italian researchers, women who eat chocolate regularly had
the highest levels of desire and satisfaction from physical intimacy.
"Women who have a daily intake of chocolate showed higher levels of
desire than women who did not have this habit," the study found. Dr Andrea
Salonia, author of the study - funded by a university, not by the confectionery industry - said women who had a low libido could become
more amorous after eating chocolate. "Chocolate is not like a food, it's
like a drug," she continues. Women who suffer mood swings as a result of
their menstrual cycle may also suffer a dip in their desire. Dr. Salonia
believes that eating chocolate may improve their desire.
How to consume chocolate?
It is not the amount that matters; it is the quality. So buy only the
highest quality chocolate. The highest the cocoa content, the better
the chocolate. The way the cocoa beans are processed is also very important.
So do not rush to any chocolate bar; look for dark chocolate.
Chocolate
There are low-calorie versions of chocolates available if you are on a
diet. It is better many times to have a little of the real thing than
a lot of an imitation.
Have some mole
Chocolate does not always have to be eaten in its sweet form. Many sauces
in Mexico and Central America use chocolate to add body and flavor to
the food. The most famous of these is probably mole.
Drink it
Chocolate can be used in drinks, and remember the regular cocoa that
you get in the shops may not be your best choice. Real hot chocolate made from
chocolate is a treat.
In Mexico and Central America it is mixed with
many
ingredients including hot peppers, spices and fruits. In Europe hot
chocolate is very sophisticated. Some of chocolate shops are starting to
appear in the USA, in New York, we have City Bakery and Mariebelle (created by
Maribel Lieberman, a Honduran). Every big city has these type of shops.
You can also purchase high-qualilty chocolate
online and make your own chocolate at home.
