Not only won't be fat.

You can also lose weight! !

Especially dark chocolate.

For a long time in the past, chocolate was listed as a kind of food that should be avoided as far as possible because of its high fat and high calorie. But recently, a message came from the media meeting of the Chocolate Information Center (CIC) that eating chocolate in moderation can help you lose weight.

The latest research found that not all saturated fats have the same function. With the decrease of the energy supply percentage of saturated fats in chocolate, people will lose weight obviously.

Chocolate does not raise the cholesterol concentration in blood, because it contains a lot of stearic acid and palmitic acid in saturated fatty acids. The effect of stearic acid on cholesterol is neutral (neither increasing nor decreasing), while palmitic acid can slightly reduce cholesterol concentration. Oleic acid in monounsaturated fatty acids can reduce the cholesterol concentration in the body. In addition, oleic acid and linolenic acid in monounsaturated fatty acids also have antioxidant effects. Therefore, the fat in chocolate not only does not lead to obesity, but also has potential benefits to the cardiovascular system.

It is understood that chocolate can also provide some essential minerals and nutrients and 20 macro elements such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium, which account for 4-5% of human body weight. Polyphenols in chocolate can prolong the action time of other antioxidants in the body, promote cardiovascular relaxation and inhibit inflammatory reaction and thrombosis.

Don't mistake chocolate for weight loss poison. Eating some low-calorie chocolate in this season can also achieve the effect of losing weight. The heat provided by chocolate can make you not be intimidated by the cold in winter, and make you resist the hot pot in winter and some things that are not suitable for losing weight, because you are full after eating chocolate.
