DOES CHOCOLATE HAVE ANY NUTRITIONAL VALUE?

 

When a sweet craving strikes scope is that like many other people reach for a piece of chocolate or dark chocolate. The chocolate has a rich history but a much lower nutritional value compared with dark chocolate. Choose a bar of chocolate that treats and sweetened with coconut sugar, honey, or dates. Raw cocoa powder can be combined with smoothies that are sweetened with honey or fruit. While we might normally turn to coffee, tea, or soda for a caffeine fix, it’s important to know that chocolate also has caffeine.

Dark chocolate may suggest some health benefits but only if it’s consumed as part of a balanced diet.

  • It can help from high blood pressure
  • It can help prevent/improve diabetes
  • It promotes healthy cholesterol levels
  • It can help decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases
  • It can help alleviate inflammatory conditions

The enormous health risk of chocolate is not certainly the cocoa bean content but the other additives found in commercial chocolates like sugar and fat. Too many empty calories from added sugars and fats don’t hit the energy your body needs compared with other nutrients. When joined with a sedentary lifestyle, sweets can quickly lead to stored body fat. Too much caffeine can also cause inimical side effects like irritability and insomnia. It's important to remember that chocolate is still candy and it has extra calories like sugar, and fat. Eat it sparingly
