Chocolate is healthy! But caution: Which ingredient should be health-promoting and whether you should re-read of the sweet delicacy to only nourish now to be able itself.
Flavor is to have a positive influence on the heart and the blood vessels – in such a way at least the result of many studies of the last ten years reads. To find this connection is in cocoa and chocolate. Nevertheless you should do without the excessive consumption of the sweet. Most chocolates have other ingredients, like for example sugars, which health-promoting to rough quantities, but to be even harmful to be able. In addition the straight milk chocolate liked with the consumer is particularly poor in flavor.
Studies show that the concentrations of the most important flavor fail differently. Therefore cocoa powder contains milk chocolate to most and too few antioxidants. Unsweetened baking chocolate and dark chocolate divide the centre zone. The more flavor is the higher the anti-oxidative activity is contained.
But this component unfortunately constitutes the bitter taste in the chocolate, so that the majority of the flavor is destroyed with the production process. Chocolate is to finally taste!
If you want to connect however occasional benefit with health-conscious nutrition, you should buy chocolates, which have a high cocoa portion from 60% to 75% and with those sugars are not to be main added. Besides, you should unsweetened cocoa powder to the finished mixed prefer and without white chocolate do – only cocoa butter, sugar and taste material contains.
