When eating chocolate you increase the levels of some chemicals in your brain.
They include PEA, (phenylethylamine, this is related to Amphetamine), this
produces a confidence boost; tryptophan, this converts into serotonin in your
brain lifting your mood and theobromine, a stimulant.
2. It can help protect your Liver!
Recently released studies at the 'International Liver Congress 2010', showed
that dark chocolate reduces the damage in patients who have suffered
scarring on the Liver caused by excessive drinking or disease. It also reduces your blood-pressure in your liver as the high levels of Antioxidants mop up damaging particles.

4. It Can help increase your Memory!
Oxford University' scientists have tested a sample of 2000 volunteers, by feeding them chocolate. They found that memory was really improved. In Northumbria another study showed that when given large amounts of flavanols, found in chocolate, people found mental arithmetic easier.
The brain releases dopamine after a couple of dark chocolate squares. This helps with the overall mental brain function.
Chocolate contains a large amount of theobromine. At London's Imperial College they found this to be more effective at stopping persistent coughs than codeine.
