Dark Chocolate – Safe Pleasure
I notice that with most sweets, the more I eat the more I want and the worse I feel. So I switched to dark chocolate as my “sweet” of choice. It is not actually very sweet, and that is a big benefit. Because dark chocolate is low in sugar, it doesn’t trigger my desire for more. I can be satisfied with a small amount without craving other sweets.
Dark chocolate has been recognized for a number of health benefits. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, a group of antioxidants naturally found in certain fruits, vegetables, teas, wines, nuts, seeds and roots. Flavonoids are thought to reduce the risk of blood clots and to increase the blood flow in arteries. Cocoa has been found to have nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea.
