Craving Chocolate??? Go For it!!!!
Hello,
Do you have a sweet tooth? Trust me. You are not the only one. Here is the good news.........
You can have one ounce of chocolate per day=one ounce per day. We are not talking about a snickers bar or weight watchers chocolate (fake sugar filled) frozen desserts. We are talking about quality dark chocolate, with a cocoa content of 65% or higher. Dark Chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is a great source for antioxidants. Studies show that dark chocolate can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease. In moderation, dark chocolate is very nutritious. Quality dark chocolate contains:
Soluble Fiber
Potassium
Phosphorous
Zinc
Selenium
Iron
Magnesium
Copper
and Manganese.
Dark chocolate does contain stimulants like caffeine. However, it is not likely to keep you up at night, as the amount of caffeine is much less than what a cup of coffee would provide. Bottom Line: Quality dark chocolate is a great snack. My suggestion is that you have it with a protein in the middle of the afternoon such as a nut butter or peanut butter. And of course, this would help you practice my trade marked "secret." If you do not know about my trademarked secret click HERE.
