Many people are convinced that chocolate is a harmful product.
This opinion, oddly enough, is erroneous.
It turns out that eating this popular confectionery product has a positive effect on health.
But there are several important nuances that cannot be ignored.
What are the benefits of chocolate?
Using this product helps to achieve several positive effects at once:
- improving brain function;
- positive effect on the heart and blood vessels;
- strengthening the immune system.
How to eat chocolate correctly
Despite all the benefits of this confectionery product, do not rush to consume it in large quantities.
The fact is that the positive effect on health occurs only with moderate consumption of chocolate. After all, the product is very high in calories.
It is advisable to eat no more than 50 grams of chocolate per day. However, if you lead an active lifestyle, do physical work and sports, you can increase the norm to 75 grams per day.
There is another important recommendation: it is advisable to give preference to dark chocolate, the cocoa content of which is at least 70 percent. This product contains little sugar.
