Description
Dark chocolate is often used in desserts and cooking.
Besides cocoa butter, it contains additional sugar and cocoa mass at a rate of 35-40%. The greater the content of a chocolate containing cocoa, the more bitter it is. The dark chocolate, indeed thanks to the high content of cocoa, is rich in polyphones, which have antioxidant activity. Chocolate helps to increase the levels of serotonin and endorphins, natural opiates that assist the body to regulate mood.
A piece of chocolate is enough to stimulate the body, thanks to the carbohydrates it contains, while fat creates an instant sensation of satiety. The iron is released once the chocolate melts in the mouth and helps in the faster transfer of oxygen to the brain, and so we feel mentally alert.
The therapeutic properties of chocolate have been known since the time of the Aztecs. Studies show that it helps to prevent hypertension and reduce cardiovascular disease.
Chocolate also contains theobromine, a substance that stimulates kidney function and acts as a light diuretic, and is considered beneficial during pregnancy, because it relaxes the fetus.
