Most people think chocolate is a solution for everything. It tastes wonderful and should help them in every way. With the chemicals that are in chocolate, some of these chemicals make the person crave more chocolate. This is done through the brain. It also makes us feel good. Endorphins are the part of the body that is released when we exercise. It makes us feel happy.

Chocolate does the same thing. Chocolate makes the brain release these opioids which triggers a happy feeling. Chocolate also increases our heart beat as well as makes us more awake. Since chocolate has caffeine in it, it has the same effect on the brain and how we feel as drinking a strong cup of coffee or tea in the morning.
