Named unexpected useful property of dark chocolate

Dark chocolate has a bunch of useful properties.

And now the list has been enriched with ability to give sound sleep.

This product is rich in magnesium, reports The Daily Mail. And this element is important for the normal operation of the “internal clock,” say the staff of the universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge.

So in theory dark chocolate can help to adapt to the change of the rhythm of day and night when you move to another time zone. By the way, in addition to chocolate, lots of magnesium in green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, beans, whole grain products, avocado, yogurt, bananas and dried fruits.

Apparently, the magnesium is in the regulation of all circadian rhythms. This is a dream, waking, release of hormones, body temperature. It is possible that this knowledge will be used to create chronotherapy — treatment, tied to time of day.
