Benefits:

Chocolate, both dark and milk, is low-glycemic, meaning you can eat it in moderation when eating a low-glycemic food plan.

Dark chocolate is higher in antioxidants than milk chocolate. The higher the cocoa content, the more antioxidants in your chocolate. We recommend you choose chocolate with cocoa content 60% and higher.

Cocoa and chocolate help reduce high blood pressure, improve circulation, and keep your heart healthy.

The antioxidants in chocolate and cocoa help reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cocoa and chocolate stimulate blood flow to the skin, which keeps skin healthy and glowing.

Chocolate contains up to four times the antioxidants found in green or black tea.

Dark chocolate contains 53.5 mg of catechins per 100 grams. These powerful antioxidants help prevent cancer and heart disease.

Flavonols in cocoa prevent fat-like substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and clogging the arteries, and make blood platelets less likely to stick together and cause clots. This is great for your heart health.

Eat Chocolate with Care

Chocolate contains cocoa butter, so it’s not low in calories, so enjoy sparingly.

Eat your chocolate sensuously and slowly, letting it dissolve in your mouth. You’ll savor the superb taste and texture while enjoying the health and pleasurable benefits of this highly prized treat.
