Curb Your Sweet Tooth: Dark Chocolate

 

 

We can understand your need for a chocolate fix, but why not go for a healthier option? Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet!

 

The Lowdown:

 

A 100 gram bar of dark chocolate with 70-85% cocoa contains:

 

• 11 grams of fiber.
• 67% of the RDA for Iron.
• 58% of the RDA for Magnesium.
• 89% of the RDA for Copper.
• 98% of the RDA for Manganese.
• It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.

 

 

But what does this mean? Dark Chocolate is rich in fiber, Iron, Magnesium, Copper, Manganese and a few other minerals. Of course, 100 grams of dark chocolate is a lot to consume because of the added sugar. In moderation, dark chocolate can add to your daily nutrients.

 

 

Dark chocolate packed with antioxidants, helps improve blood flow, circulation, and betters your heart’s overall function. A study found that dark chocolate helps restore flexibility to arteries while also preventing white blood cells from sticking to the walls of blood vessels – both common causes of artery clogging.

 

Not only can dark chocolate help with blood flow, this tasty snack can also help improve your mood, lower overall stress, improve the look and feel of your skin and help you lose weight.
