(ORDO NEWS) — There are not many sweets that can give you a great feeling, like after eating dark chocolate.
An important condition for this is that the composition must contain a minimum amount of sugar and at least 70% cocoa. In this case, chocolate will contain a lot of healthy fats, which will not only give a feeling of satiety, but also restore the lack of useful components in the body. What happens if you eat a piece of dark chocolate every day?
Experts conducted a study and found that natural dark chocolate avoids weight gain. Cocoa contains the antioxidant flavanol. In addition, natural chocolate contains much fewer calories than many other sweets, so it will not be as harmful.
Literally a piece of chocolate can reduce anxiety and lower stress levels. To completely relax and feel good, it is enough to consume 40 grams of natural delicacies per day for two weeks.
Recently, scientists conducted several studies that proved that regular consumption of chocolate helps to strengthen the heart, as well as reduce the risk of stroke, coronary disease and diabetes. The sweetness contains a high content of flavanols, which will have a positive effect on the work of the cardiovascular system, as well as many other organs.
Natural dark chocolate has another huge advantage – it strengthens the digestive tract. Due to the content of polyphenols in the microbiota, the number of bacteria that will fight inflammatory processes increases. They act as highly effective prebiotics.
In addition, dark chocolate is able to reduce the risk of developing inflammatory processes in the body, helps to restore damaged cells. Therefore, if it is impossible to do without sweets, then preference should be given to natural, tasty and healthy treats from cocoa beans.
