on October 14 | in What's On | by The Westbridge Hotel | with Comments Off on CHOCOLATE DARK? MILK? WHITE? HOW YOUR CHOCOLATE CHOICE REFLECTS YOUR PERSONALITY We’re in the midst of one of the most exciting times of the year Chocolate Week. Yes, it means we can happily eat as much of it as we like and not feel an ounce of guilt as we’re simply supporting the UK’s biggest chocolate celebration!

With chocolate well and truly on our minds 24/7, we found that some of us are firmly in the milk camp, others like the sweetness of white and a few won’t touch anything that’s less than 70% cocoa solids. But what does our chocolate choice reveal about our personalities?

Milk

It’s thought that lovers of milk chocolate are calm and collected they aren’t easily fazed and like to go with the flow. If you opt for milk chocolate chances are you are also something of a clever-clogs and you love to be in the limelight. You have a romantic side to your personality and don’t shy away from commitment: when it comes to relationships, you’re in it for the long-haul.

Dark

If you like dark chocolate, chances are you will be cultured, classy and sophisticated. You also don’t sit on the fence when it comes to opinions you stand your ground and tend to get a tad dramatic. Full of energy, you make strong decisions. Your relationships are also strong, and you love being around other people.

White

Fans of white chocolate tend to be artistic and creative. You are often caught daydreaming, and some people on first impressions could describe you as “flaky”. You are happy in your own company and are more of an introvert than an extrovert.

Mint

You know what you want, and you have your sights set on getting it. Being successful is your ultimate goal in life. However, this doesn’t mean you are insensitive; you always take other peoples’ feelings into account. Tradition is also very important to you, but you’re certainly no sheep and don’t just follow what others are doing for the sake of it.

Caramel

You feel comfortable in your own skin and are generally happy and content. You’re also an adrenaline junkie at times, but are kind in nature and easily pleased.

Nut

Nutty chocolate lovers tend to have some old-fashioned qualities but are always the ones to put themselves and others down. Rather than having lots of friends, you have a small network of close chums and can view other people harshly, at times.

So, be honest do any of these personality traits ring true with you?

Does dark chocolate put you in a good mood?

Dark chocolate has long been recognized by psychologists for its mood-altering properties, which include increasing feelings of pleasure and enjoyment [11].

Dark chocolate has long been recognized for its mood-altering properties; however, the evidence regarding the emotional effects of daily dark chocolate intake is limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of dark chocolate intake on mood in everyday life, with special emphasis on the gut-brain axis. Two different dark chocolates (85% and 70% cocoa content) were tested in this study. In a randomized controlled trial, healthy adults (20–30 y) consumed either 30 g/d of 85% cocoa chocolate (DC85, n=18); 70% cocoa chocolate (DC70, n=16); or no chocolate (control group, CON; n=14); for 3 weeks. Mood states were measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Daily consumption of dark chocolate significantly reduced negative affect in DC85, but not in DC70. To assess the association between the mood-altering effects of dark chocolate and the gut microbiota, we performed fecal 16S rRNA sequencing analysis for the DC85 and CON groups. Gut microbial diversity was significantly higher in DC85 than CON (P<.05). Blautia obeum levels were significantly elevated and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii levels were reduced in DC85 compared to CON (P<.05). Furthermore, we found that the observed changes in negative affect scores were negatively correlated with diversity and relative abundance of Blautia obeum (P<.05). These findings indicate that dark chocolate exerts prebiotic effects, as evidenced by its ability to restructure the diversity and abundance of intestinal bacteria; thus, it may improve negative emotional states via the gut-brain axis.
