Chocolate lifts your mood, is a good antioxidant, is an anti-inflammatory and improves blood flow – all of which assist in pain relief.

How is this possible?

Chocolate has always been known to

lift the mood

create a relaxed feeling

help with sleep

It is also high in essential nutrients and easy on the gut. But not just any chocolate, so be careful which one you choose.

Dark is the Best

It has: Less sugar, More fiber, More essential nutrients, Fewer carbohydrates, Less milk fat. Always buy a product that is high in cocao, as this is the natural ingredient which provides all the health benefits. The higher cocao the better, but it does get more bitter, so find one that suits your tastes. Also look for the lowest fat count – the more milk the higher the fat and then there is the sugar count. Keep the sugar absolutely as low as possible. You may find that the really top quality product is more expensive and isn’t always found in the supermarkets but when choosing a food to heal your body, it’s worth paying a little extra, so shop around. Finally don’t consume a product that has anything else added to it like flavourings, fillings or coatings. Just straight, unadulterated, dark chocolate is the key.

How much and how often?

Just a small amount is required to give you the benefits. A couple of small squares from a block daily is sufficient. Make it a special time when you eat your chocolate. By doing so you will be awakening your body to its healing properties and benefits. Savour it quietly and slowly. If you regularly eat desserts, cakes or biscuits it would be a good time to substitute these foods with your daily allowance of chocolate, thereby reducing foods that are highly inflammatory and have loads of calories, with a food that is healing and beneficial. If you suffer from food related nightmares, it is best not to consumer just before bed time. So enjoy your chocolate and remember – so long as it’s the best you can find, it quite possibly could help to relieve your pain.

Does dark chocolate need to be refrigerated?

As long as dark chocolate is kept between 68 to 72 degrees at all times, it does not need to be refrigerated. Simply wrap the chocolate in plastic cling-wrap and store it in a sturdy plastic bag or container in a location sheltered from direct sunlight and strong food odors.

The best place to store any kind of chocolate, says professional chocolate critic Clay Gordon, is in your mouth. Since this isn't always possible -- or wise -- you'll need somewhere else to store your excess dark chocolate so that it stays fresh. Improperly stored dark chocolate can quickly develop a grainy texture or unsightly white splotches. When stored correctly, however, most dark chocolate products can last between one to two years. 1. Separate the dark chocolate into serving-sized pieces or portions. Wrap each serving of chocolate in a paper towel. Place each into a separate quart-sized zip-top freezer-safe bag and seal. 2. Place the freezer bags of chocolate into the refrigerator and leave, undisturbed, for 15 minutes. Remove the bags and check for condensation on the inside surface of the bags. Replace the paper towel in bags that contain condensation and return to the refrigerator for one hour. 3. Take the bags out of the refrigerator and remove and discard the paper towels from each. Reseal the individual bags and place each in a gallon-sized zip-top freezer bag. Use a permanent marker or pen to label the bags with the contents and date.
