And The Ultimate Brain Food? ... Yup! It's CHOCOLATE!!
Yes, it's true, all facets of the chocolate eating experience lead to pleasure; the taste, the aroma and the texture.

Now there is another reason to love it even more, as it's packed with disease fighting anti-oxidants too.
In fact researchers believe that its raw form of cocoa contains more antioxidants than blueberries, red wine, acal berries and pomegranates.
It also contains magnesium, that is a mineral in demand in your body and brain.
It is also believed that people who crave chocolate actually have a magnesium deficiency, and that craving is just the brains way of satisfying that demand.

Most chocolate is loaded with mostly saturated fats, so always try to pick an organic dark chocolate bar. They contain more natural cocoa which has been extracted in the cheaper candy bars.
The organic dark chocolate also means that none of the cocoa crops have been treated with pesticides which accumulate in the fat of the cocoa bean.
The best organic dark chocolate uses minimal refined sugar thus it gives our brains a boost of potent antioxidants alongside the cocoa.
Happy chocolate munching!
@mindhunter, i like chocolate a lot
Steemit could not perform for me without coffee, chocolate and cigarettes!
also good for your intestinal flora, as long as there is not too much sugar.
That cocoa gets everywhere doing everything ;)
it is my number 1 champion against migraines with all that magnesium.
Thankfully Steemit has not given me any of those yet! PHEW! My mum does suffer terribly with them though. I sympathise with you @lifeworship
