Dark chocolate -- not white chocolate -- lowers high blood pressure, say Dirk Taubert, MD, PhD, and colleagues at the University of Cologne, Germany. Their report appears in the Aug. 27 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
Dark chocolate -- but not milk chocolate or dark chocolate eaten with milk -- is a potent antioxidant, report Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy's National Institute for Food and NutritionNutrition Research in Rome, and colleagues

Hi there !
Theoretically speaking...
Chocolates are supposed to be cardiac stimulants like caffeine...!...but in a very mild way...
Also SOME chocolates do contain antioxidants which prevent the degeneration of tissues and hence delay ageing !
In addition...the most important factors...it contains sugar and when you are tired and exhausted..it provides energy and relaxation...
after all..that is what we lack in our busy life...right ?
best wihes ...

there are antioxidants in dark chocolate that can be helpful to your body. but you do not need very much. the problem is with all of the sugar that is made with the chocolate.
