Chocolate diet Dr. Cohen:
Cocoa is an important source of polyphenol antioxidants. These molecules promote glucose metabolism in the body. Specifically, they therefore help your body burn sugar and prevent it from storing it as fat.
Miss Cocoa also contains a large amount of catechins, a molecule of the family of flavonoids present in many slimming teas.
Cocoa has many health benefits.
Thanks to the wealth of magnesium chocolate, it’s good for morale and promotes relaxation. Interesting especially for women who often lack of this precious mineral. Cocoa also contains phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper and manganese. Finally, because of its richness in flavonoids and antioxidants, it would be great to fight against cardiovascular disease. A real cocktail health and wellness.
To enjoy the benefits of chocolate without risk to the line, the key is to focus on a rich chocolate cocoa, whatever its form. For this, it must contain at least 70% cocoa. The more chocolate is rich in cocoa, it contains less fat and sugar.
In short, do not hesitate to crack for black chocolate bars rich cocoa taste. Consider also the pure cocoa powder, to be diluted in skim milk and sugar with a sweetener .
However, beware of fancy bars (milk chocolate, puffed rice, in the heart caramel ….) Special powders of flavored breakfast chocolate or biscuits and pastries industry. They generally contain only little cocoa and are filled with fat and sugar. A true dietary heresy.
