I'm always apprehensive about the preaching of the word healthy in Chocolate. It has been believed for so long, this tasty dish could not be good for you. Many also say that the only reason that "chocolate lovers" preaching to everyone is to justify the consumption and / or sell more chocolate. However, the studies in recent years have shown different and yet there are still many doubters.
Chocolate is a natural, herbal product. Hence, contains many valuable ingredients. The polyphenols are believed to counteract free radicals, in addition to complex BD, E, and vitamins. Consumed in moderation, it has its place in a balanced diet. It is believed that an ounce of black chocolate a day will provide the greatest benefits and not increase your waistline. And while chocolate can be high in calories which compensates the energy loss due to physical exertion. The main reason is the favorite of athletes and students alike.
Chocolate also not damaged teeth. Milk and white chocolate are rich in vitamins A and B12, which, inter alia, contribute to the growth of teeth and bones. These vitamins also help the absorption of calcium and phosphorus needed for creating red blood cells and the growth of muscles and tissues. Cocoa butter also helps a sticky, sugary foods from sticking to teeth to help prevent tooth decay.
While chocolate may contain sugar that is absorbed slowly into the bloodstream. This is partly due to the natural fat, cocoa butter. The caffeine-like substance, theobromine also in such small quantities that many of us feel any effect from it at all.
More and more information available about chocolate and good health. Studies are being conducted by some instituions very proven benefits of chocolate. Maybe someday we will adopt the saying "A chocolate a day keeps the doctor away", but until then we chocolate lovers only need to keep preaching.
