Natural compounds in dark chocolate found to increase calmness
Research to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Psychopharmacology has found cocoa polyphenols have a positive impact on mood in healthy individuals.
“To our knowledge, this is the first randomized, controlled trial to substantiate the effects of cocoa polyphenols on positive mood states in a non-clinical sample,” Matthew P. Pase of Swinburne University in Australia and his colleagues wrote in their study.
“Future research is needed to investigate whether cocoa polyphenols can ameliorate the symptoms associated with clinical anxiety or depression.”
The group of compounds are found naturally in the cocoa bean, the main constituent of dark chocolate. Many people believe consuming dark chocolate reduces anxiety and some research has even found that dark chocolate could improve mental functioning.
