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 at dinner), eating some dark chocolate in moderation (up to 50 grams a day) will not make you fat, 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.
The efficacy and function of dark chocolate
Anti-aging: Because dark chocolate has a strong antioxidant effect, it prevents the human body from aging rapidly. Experiments have proved that the life expectancy of the elderly who often eat dark chocolate in moderation is significantly longer than that of the elderly who don't eat dark chocolate.
Can make people smarter: Scientists from Nottingham University have found that eating chocolate and other foods can make the brain 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.
