Dark chocolate helps chronic fatigue

According to British Government Researchers, eating a small amount of dark chocolate each day can help combat symptoms of chronic fatigue. The cocoa content was 85%, much more than most commercial dark chocolates. The study participants on the chocolate felt less fatigued than those on the placebo who felt greater tiredness.

The polyphenol content and enhancement of serotonin neurotransmitters are believed to provide the relief.

Bonnie - they took the words right out of my mouth! Any dark chocolate at 70% cocoa content or higher is good. However, I must emphasize, in moderation!
