Chocolate Models - Making You Smarter?

There are numerous kinds of chocolate models to choose from. The variety of chocolate is truly only where your mind limits you. Yes, society continues to master chocolate. Chocolate dates back to approximately 1100 BC when it's earliest use was recorded. It comes from many raw and processed foods produced from seeds of the tropical cacao tree. Cacoa has been cultivated for a least three millennia, and there's so much variety to choose from, you could spend your life testing it all and finding a favorite! You just don't need to declare a particular chocolate model a favorite, just enjoy them all!

Finding the best chocolate can be a rewarding experience, or so it seems. Searching and trying all sorts of different kinds can be a tough task, well maybe not that tough for some people!  Although it may seem fun to eat over two hundred different kinds of chocolate, you may just decide to slim down that list a bit.

To name a few, you can choose from

Belgian Chocolate
Milk Chocolate
Dark Chocolate
Chocolate Bars
Chocolate Fudge
Chocolate Truffels
Sugar-Free Chocolate
Organic Chocolate
Chocolate Fondue

and the list of chocolate models and types goes on!

Chocolate Candy Can Help You Study

Remember the study where a scientist named Pavlov taught a dog to connect the ringing of a bell with feeding time? The ring of the bell would make the dog eat, and eventually that ringing caused the dog to relate it to feeding time. Well, that was a major breakthrough in how our brains operate; even though the study was done on a dog. We too can be taught to associate certain things and these associations can be used to remember things, such as when studying for a test. Apparently you can use chocolate candy to help you get better grades on a test or just better grades in general? How? The smell and taste of chocolate candy is such a strong one that it can be used as a mental marker to help you remember things you normally wouldn't easily be able to. Every model of chocolate you can think of can be used to create this result. Pick your favorite; chocolate mints, chocolate bars, chocolate covered strawberries, whatever you want!

Just the Smell of Chocolate

Let's say for example that you're studying for a math exam. You have to remember a certain theorem, such as the Pythagorean Theorem, but you just can't seem to make it stick in your brain. However, you take out a piece of chocolate candy, such as a candy bar, and before it reaches your mouth you smell it. Although you eat the chocolate it will be the smell that can cause you to remember that theorem for later. The next day, you're taking the test when you forget that the rest of the candy bar was left in your backpack. It's all melted now but you happen to catch a whiff of it. The smell of the chocolate can bring you right back to the day before when you were staring at that theorem. All of a sudden, the smell of the chocolate has provided you the mental reminder you need to remember that hard to learn theorem for your test. 

The Smell & Taste of Chocolate

Of course this theory is just related to chocolate, you can do this with anything, fruit, good smelling incense, or anything else to that effect, but chocolate candy has such a strong and distinctive smell, and it's so addictive, that it will definitely help you remember what you need to if you smell it while you're studying and then smell it again while you're taking a test.

In Moderation

Don't eat too much as it can cause you to put weight on and it's not the greatest thing for you if you eat too much of it. However, if you can manage to just smell it, or get something such as a scratch and sniff sticker that smells like it, you can use that to your advantage. Eaten in moderation, chocolate candy is fine, and it can help you get good grades; but you don't want to sacrifice your weight just to get good grades by constantly eating chocolate. Plus anyone who happens to be allergic to chocolate, better use another treat for this experiment.
