i'm sure you've read some articles telling you that chocolates are not healthy for you. while reading some of the research i was just smiling to myself, ya-be-da-be-doo! it's pretty awesome to learn that researchers did an excellent job on this, but mind you the chocolates that the researches are referring to is DARK CHOCOLATES!
according to webmd.com, eating a small approximately 1.6 ounce a bar everyday is good for you. dark chocolate bars with high content of dark-cocoa is loaded with something called epicatechin, its an active member of group of compounds called plant flavonoids... which keeps the cholesterol from gathering in blood vessels, which means it helps reducing the risk of getting blood clots, and slow down the immune responses that leads to clogged arteries.
benefits of dark chocolate:
1. lowers blood pressure - but it has to be balanced by eating lesser of other things.
2. antioxidants - the antioxidants gobble up the free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments.
so you see, when you read articles telling you chocolates are bad for you they're not always true, maybe for the milk-chocolate and white chocolate... well anything excessive is bad for you anyway. right? so don't be a fool, do more research, that's the least you can do... it's not that hard right?
hopefully this article brings a smile to your face too! as it did for me.
