In this video, we’re going to talk about chocolate and caffeine. Chocolate contains a small amount of caffeine. One ounce of chocolate contains 4 to 20mg of caffeine, a very small amount compared to coffee or tea.

Chocolate also contains the stimulant theobromine. One ounce of chocolate contains 60 to 200 mg of theobromine. Theobromine is a vasodilator, which means it helps to dilate and relax your blood vessels. This can help reduce blood pressure.

One of the amazing health benefits of chocolate is that it’s a mood elevator! The theobromine in chocolate helps to elevate and improve your mood.

It can be difficult to find chocolate without sugar. Look for sugar-free chocolate sweetened with stevia, inulin, or erythritol.

The stimulants caffeine and theobromine can also keep you awake at night. Try consuming chocolate earlier in the day to avoid this issue.
