The disadvantages of eating too much chocolate

1. Eating too much will make you fat.

Chocolate is a food with high energy density. Although the content of sodium and sugar in dark chocolate is lower than that in milk chocolate and white chocolate, the content of fat (especially saturated fat) is still relatively high.

Eating some dark chocolate every day won't make you fat, and it can also control your appetite very well, but if you eat too much, you will still get fat, especially if you eat processed dark chocolate with sugar, grease, whole milk and other ingredients.

Eating too much will lead to malnutrition.

Simply eating dark chocolate to lose weight instead of eating dinner will make the body lack corresponding nutrition and lead to malnutrition. The most important thing to lose weight is balanced nutrition. If you don't follow it, it is not conducive to losing weight.

Eating too much can cause headaches.

Chocolate is not a delicious food that can make everyone happy. Although chocolate tastes charming, tyramine contained in it is the chief culprit of headache. So eating too much is easy to have a headache. Therefore, people who often have headaches should eat less chocolate, and it is best not to eat it.

Chocolate taboo:

Diabetic patients should eat less or no chocolate (but can eat sugar-free chocolate).

People with heartburn should avoid eating chocolate, especially those who feel hot after eating chocolate. This is because chocolate contains a substance that can stimulate stomach acid.

Mothers need to breast-feed their newborns after delivery. If they eat too much chocolate, it will have a bad influence on the baby's development. Theobromine contained in chocolate will penetrate into breast milk, be absorbed by infants and accumulate in infants. Theobromine can damage the nervous system and heart, relax muscles, increase urine output, and make babies indigestion, unstable sleep and crying.

When to eat chocolate:

There are good and bad answers to eating chocolate before going to bed. Eating a lot of chocolate before going to bed is not a good idea. Because, like coffee and strong tea, chocolate has an exciting effect, which makes it more difficult for people with poor sleep to fall asleep. Chocolate is a kind of food that releases heat easily. Eating more before going to bed will raise blood sugar. If blood sugar can't be consumed, it will be converted into fat and stored. However, eating chocolate before going to bed also has its advantages, which is because of the sexual stimulation of chocolate. It can not only make people have sexual pleasure and get through all kinds of jams, but also contain theobromine and caffeine, two important mental excitement substances. Chocolate can arouse people's physiological senses and improve mental excitement. It can not only make people energetic like coffee and strong tea, but also make people more sexy and charming. Chocolate also has a certain effect on relieving people's sadness.
