When does eating dark chocolate help you lose weight?
The correct way to lose weight by chocolate: 1. Use dark chocolate with cocoa content above 70%. Caution: To avoid absorbing too much heat. Many people fail to lose weight because of using milk chocolate. 2。 Eat 50g every day. Note: This is the quantity stipulated by experts. 3。 Chocolate can suppress appetite, so try to eat it before meals. 4。 People who like snacks can take chocolate with them, and take some when they are greedy, which can reduce calories. Chocolate is rich in dietary fiber, which is good for constipation. And experts believe that chocolate is also very effective for beauty. Note: A few people feel sick about eating a lot of chocolate, and experts think that such people are not suitable for using chocolate diet. Advantages: 1, lowering blood pressure According to the American Journal of Internal Medicine, German scientists believe that cocoa products have a better effect on lowering blood pressure than tea. They also suggest that people had better eat low-sugar dark chocolate, because ordinary chocolate is rich in sugar and fat, and has high calories, which are the enemies of patients with hypertension. According to the research results of German scientists, foods rich in cocoa, such as chocolate, can help people lower their blood pressure, but drinking green tea or black tea cannot achieve similar results. For a long time, people have always thought that drinking tea can lower blood pressure, but the research of German scientists has subverted this concept. 2, lose weight (and beyond? In fact, the reason is very simple. First of all, the fat of dark chocolate is not as high as people think, and a large part of it is unsaturated fat, which will not be converted into your meat. In addition, dark chocolate will burn some fat and calories in your body during digestion and absorption. As long as you master the correct diet (eat before meals and eat less when dinner is appropriate), eating a moderate amount of dark chocolate (up to 50 grams a day) will not gain weight, and even have the effect of losing weight. Switzerland is a big chocolate country. Their per capita consumption of chocolate is nearly 200 times that of ours, but it is one of the countries with the least obesity. 3, anti-aging Because dark chocolate has a strong antioxidant effect, it prevents the rapid aging of the human body. Experiments have proved that the elderly who often eat dark chocolate in moderation have significantly longer life expectancy than those who do not eat dark chocolate. 4, can make people smarter Scientists from the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom have found that eating chocolate and other foods can make the mind sharper and improve cognitive ability in a short time. The research team led by Professor Ian MacDonald found that eating cocoa drinks rich in flavanols (the main component of dark chocolate) can promote blood flow in some important areas of the brain for 2-3 hours. The increase of blood flow in some specific areas of the brain is helpful to improve the ability of the brain and make people more acute in a short time. 5, anti-cold (only useful for men) Unfortunately, this ability is only effective for men. 6. Moisturize the skin German researchers asked 24 women to drink half a cup of concentrated flavonoid cocoa powder every day. After three months, these women's skin became more moist and smooth, and the symptoms such as pigmentation and dandruff caused by sun exposure were effectively improved. Researchers believe that flavonoids are absorbed by ultraviolet rays, which helps to protect and increase the blood circulation of the skin, thus improving the appearance. 7. An Italian researcher surveyed 143 women who eat chocolate every day and found that they seem to have stronger sexual desire, smoother vagina and shorter orgasm time. 8, improve the optimistic attitude towards life, eating dark chocolate will give people a happy mood, thus reducing the occurrence of more diseases in a greater sense. 9. If you eat it in the late pregnancy, you will give birth to a smart and lively baby. In the late pregnancy, eat less dark chocolate. The baby born is obviously more cheerful and lively than the mother who has never eaten dark chocolate. Dark chocolate has many advantages, so how should we choose? First of all, it seems that none of our domestic dark chocolate can meet the requirements. If economic conditions permit, dark chocolate with cocoa butter content above 50% should be selected (the percentage of "%"can be found on the front or back of imported dark chocolate packaging), and it is best to choose dark chocolate with cocoa butter content above 70%. Because only with high cocoa butter content can it play its role to a greater extent. So, is eating dark chocolate suitable for everyone? Actually, it's not: first of all, don't eat it for the first three months of pregnancy, and it's best not to eat it for five months. It is good for the baby to eat properly after six months, but not too much, just a little, and the cocoa butter content should not be too high about 50%. Secondly, people who already have diabetes should not eat it. Dark chocolate is not a sugar-free food, so like other sugar-containing foods, diabetics are forbidden. In addition, because dark chocolate can reduce platelet coagulation, people with too few platelets and wounds that don't like healing should not eat more. But it's okay for such people to eat occasionally. Patients with gallstones should not eat it regularly.
