CHOCOLATE IS HELP OR RISK?

Eating is happiness in many people, especially when eating dessert that aromatic, sweet and delicious like chocolate. When talking about chocolates, we always think of a dark brown sweet is made from cocoa, most people like to eat, and popular gift in special events such as Valentine’s day, New year’s day, Wedding day, etc. On the other hand, some people think that eating chocolate is a cause of acne, tooth decay and fattening. However, I strongly believe that eating chocolate do not cause any issue, but it has a lot of benefits for health including healthier heart, weight loss and tooth decay protecting.

To begin with, eating chocolate can make a healthier heart. According to a latest study, long-term study in Germany this year, presented that eating a small piece of dark chocolate twice a week can reduced heart attack and stroke’s risk, and lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It is to say that Phenolics, a large group of plant-based antioxidants, in chocolate will helps blood flow working better, blood pressure and cholesterol lower, the adaptability of veins and arteries increase, glucose metabolism improve and the health of your blood vessels maintain.(Source1)

Next, a chocolate can lose weight. Eating a diet food that has antioxidants is the best ways you can lose those unwanted weight. A recent research shows that people who eat dark chocolate regularly will slimmer than those who not often ate it. Dark chocolate contains less sugar and fat. It is also rich in flavanoids, are phytochemicals and antioxidants, that can help lower cholesterol level and spur metabolism booster working successfully. Moreover, eating chocolate will make you fully and don’t need to eat other foods. So, it can help you to lose weight.(Source2)

Lastly, Chocolate can protect against tooth decay. Tannin in chocolate may help to stop tooth decay by reducing the growth of bacteria in the mouth and helping prevent cavities. Especially in dark chocolate that has less sugar than other types of chocolate, then it can help to prevent well. By the way, tooth decay is just the side effect of bacteria metabolizing carbohydrates and not the domain of sugar alone. Without bacteria plaque, there would be no tooth decay. “So, eating the world’s favorite chocolate will not cause tooth decay,” stresses by Dr. Kosinski.(Source3)

For all these benefits, it is the fact that chocolate is good not only for the heart, but also for your mind and body as well. Do not forget that when you eat the piece of chocolate twice or third a week, that’s good for your health. But if you eat it too much, it also can have a negative health effects like other desserts. Remember, chocolate will good or bad, it is up to you.
