Yes Chocolate can be good for you





I have always loved chocolate. I am a man and although I am not being sexist, I thought that women mainly had chocolate cravings. Although I love chocolate, I also love my teeth and my dentist always reminds me that chocolate and most sweets are bad for your teeth and gums. I take the dentists advice and clean my teeth three times a day and use mouth wash. However, because I have a passion for chocolate I have carried out lots of research as to the overall health benefits that dark chocolate can bring. Dark chocolate can help with healthy teeth and gums and prevent gum disease. So that is the first benefit.

You must admit this must be something new to you. As children, we were rewarded with a piece of chocolate if we did something good. But my parents were always worried about the sugar content in chocolate and how that might damage my dental and general health. Dark chocolate is made from cacao seeds and it does not have the bad ingredients. Milk chocolate that you buy from the shops is laden with fats, fillers and waxes and even thought experts say to eat 70 per cent cacao it is only best when eaten in moderation. Right? Not anymore. ’

The dark chocolate that I consume is gluten free, vegetarian and vegan and diabetic friendly. It is made of pure unadulterated cacao. This dark chocolate also maintains all its antioxidant content. Antioxidants rich products, such as dark chocolate help the body fight against free radicals that harm our bodies immune system. Did you know that one piece of pure dark chocolate is the equivalent of eating almost 1pound of broccoli! Wow, and three pieces of this dark chocolate is the equivalent of 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables. Thus you will live longer and healthy lives.

The second health benefit of dark chocolate is that it is good for improving your circulation. Dark chocolate in particular is the best for this as it possesses a powerful antioxidant that has an effect on reducing blood pressure. This has to be good because high blood pressure is a contributory factor to heart disease and stroke. Research has found that 75 to 80 per cent of all strokes are associated with blockages in the carotid arteries- and are preventable. One of the natural compounds of this dark chocolate is that it decreases LDL bad cholesterol that causes stroke. One small piece of dark chocolate, rich in cocoa every day will help your heart and blood pressure.

I can honesty say that as a chocolate lover I am now a regular consumer of dark chocolate. I am also assured by so many laboratory tests that I am helping my body fight against heart and stroke with the antioxidants helping fight against free radicals. I plan to live a long and healthy life. I am so confident of this because a recent visit to the G.P found that I have a healthy blood pressure.

The saddest part about normal milk chocolate is that it does not have this benefit. Now I am a regular consumer of dark chocolate I will not return to my old habits of eating milk chocolate. The chocolate that I consume also helps with hunger control. I shared a large bar of milk chocolate with a friend recently and I was soon hungry again. This is because of the high sugar content in milk chocolate. The more you have of milk chocolate the more you will eat.

Obesity is a massive world wide health problem. With new scientific studies showing dark chocolate and raw cacao’s ability to help stabilize blood sugar, it only makes sense that the right kind of chocolate can help those looking to lose weight. So if you have a weight problem you must change your habits from eating milk chocolate to eating dark chocolate.

Yes dark chocolate can be good for you. So if you want to live a long and healthy life do not delay. For a free report on further benefits of dark chocolate, then visit, http://www.firsthealthychoc.com.
