December is chocolate time. Whether as cocoa, Santa Claus or in your beloved cookies! There is no other time when we are more willing to give in to sweet temptation. But does chocolate make you more than happy?

Why chocolate has an aphrodisiac effect:

Chocolate is often considered an aphrodisiac, and there are several reasons why it is associated with love and romantic feelings:

1. Chemical Compounds: Chocolate contains various chemical compounds, including phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA is a substance released in the body when one is in love. It is believed that PEA can improve mood and increase feelings of love and euphoria.
   
   
2. Serotonin: Chocolate contains serotonin precursors, which may help increase serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood. An increase in serotonin levels can produce positive feelings and feelings of happiness.
   
   
3. Phenolic Compounds: Chocolate also contains phenolic compounds that have antioxidant properties. These compounds can help improve blood circulation, which in turn can promote overall health and also blood flow to the genital area.
   
   
4. Psychological influence: The taste of chocolate and the experience of enjoying it can also have a psychological aphrodisiac effect. The act of sharing chocolate or treating yourself to a piece of chocolate can create an intimate and romantic atmosphere.
   
   
5. The Advent calendar effect: In December there is still the special component that you look forward to the little piece of luxury in the Advent calendar every day. This ritual triggers special feelings of happiness.

In general, around December we often treat ourselves to special treats, not just chocolate.

Of course, not everyone feels like eating a cup of cocoa or a piece of chocolate, but imagine how much happier we would all be then. Lindt would probably be more successful than Satisfyer. Every person reacts differently to chocolate, some stronger, some weaker. The effect may be more psychological than direct chemical influences. Nevertheless, the connection between chocolate and romantic mood remains a widespread and culturally embedded idea.

Ginger and chocolate

1. Ginger and chocolate work well together because they offer an intriguing combination of sweet, spicy and earthy flavors. Here are some reasons why they complement each other well:
   
   
2. Contrast of flavors: Chocolate offers a rich, sweet and often slightly bitter note, while ginger has a sharp, spicy and earthy flavor. The contrast between sweetness and spiciness creates a harmonious balance that appeals to the palate.
   
   
3. Mutual Reinforcement: Ginger can enhance the flavors in chocolate and vice versa. The spiciness of ginger can bring out the depth and intensity of the chocolate flavor, resulting in a flavor enhancement.
   
   
4. Complexity in taste: The combination of chocolate and ginger offers a variety of flavors that make the enjoyment more interesting. The result is a multidimensional experience that includes both sweet and spicy elements.
   
   
5. Health Benefits: Both ginger and dark chocolate have potential health benefits. Ginger is valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, while dark chocolate contains antioxidants. The combination could not only taste good, but also be health-promoting.
   
   
6. Cultural Connections: In some cultures, ginger is used as a spicy spice in sweets and desserts. These traditions influence culinary preferences and have contributed to ginger and chocolate being viewed as a harmonious pair.

Overall, ginger and chocolate create an exciting and delicious flavor combination that is both gustatory and sensory appealing.
