Misunderstands and Myths About Chocolate

It is hard to imagine a cup of coffee or a glass of good cognac without a piece of good chocolate. Yes, and it is easier to calm a child by breaking off a fragrant square for him.

Stop! But chocolate is harmful, it makes you fat, addictive, and in general, you won’t find good chocolate in the afternoon. What to do?

It’s simple, we will not listen to people who are trying to discredit our favorite sweet, but we will figure it out on our own.

Myth number  1. Chocolate is bad

And we will immediately answer that no, this is not true. With the help of chocolate, you can even improve your well-being and some health parameters.

Reducing stress levels will help with 50 grams of quality chocolate per day for 2 weeks.

A bar of dark chocolate contains as many antioxidants as 3 cups of green tea, a glass of red wine, or a cup of blueberries.

The risk of cardiovascular disease will be reduced by 50% if you eat 4-5 squares of chocolate every day.

Myth number 2. Dark chocolate is healthier than milk and white ones

Do you also look for the darkest chocolate available on the counter, and then eat it without getting the expected pleasure?

You don’t need to do this anymore. First, dark chocolate does not exist in nature. Officially, any manufacturer can produce only dark, milk, and white chocolate. Secondly, the difference between a bar of the darkest, bitterest, 99% chocolate and your favorite milk bar is 17-20 calories.

But what about sugar? If you’re worried about your waistline or blood sugar spikes, then you need to pay attention to carbohydrates, not sugar content. And again, the difference between a bar of milk and a bar of the dark as night is only 4.5 grams.

Would you like to treat yourself to milk chocolate? Remove a piece of bread from your diet, and the total calorie content of the daily diet will remain the same as when eating only dark chocolate.

Myth number 3. Chocolate is addictive

Yes, yes, and yes again! We know for sure that good chocolate is a real gift to your mood and well-being. And life immediately becomes better, and the colors are brighter, and people are kinder.

Addiction to chocolate is due to the state of euphoria caused by the release of dopamine. By the way, chocoholism is considered one of the simplest addictions. You can get rid of it by changing the source of dopamine: swimming, massage, funny series, hugs, or kisses.

You can get rid of it, but is it necessary? Today we learned that most of the allegations about the dangers of chocolate are myths, which means that eating chocolate in reasonable quantities is possible and pleasant. And we successfully confirm this with our own example!

We hope you enjoyed our sweet article. Don’t refuse to try a good quality chocolate but remember about the dose. The chocolate is also a good gift. Visit the Find Me A Gift website to find one.
