Chocolate can increase ‘good mood’ levels in some people. Try to choose dark chocolate over milk chocolate if you’re after more anti-oxidants. 

The flavonoids in dark chocolate have the disease-fighting anti-oxidants. But, if you want to increase your calcium intake, then choose milk chocolate over dark chocolate.
