Health : More Good News for Chocolate Lovers

 

Dark chocolate is now almost becoming a member of the health-food group as another research study released its findings. There have been numerous studies which have reported and demonstrated the nutritional benefits of eating dark chocolate.  

 

Appetite Magazine recently published the results of a study that found you may be able to boost cognitive function by regularly eating dark chocolate.  Researchers analyzed study participants over a 30 year of time. A 30 year span is huge in my mind. This study found that those folks who consumed chocolate at least once a week performed much better on various cognitive tests than those who never or rarely eat chocolate.

 

These results point to the cocoa’s flavanols which increase blood flow to the brain. Chocolate also has a small amount of caffeine which also improves alertness and helps in addition to the other components in chocolate.

 

If you get a chocolate craving here in Katy TX at night or anytime go ahead eat some chocolate but a small amount goes a long way and over indulgence is not good either as we all already know. This is certainly great news for all of us chocolate lovers..

I keep hearing about the health effects of chocolate, and I believe what is being said.  If only I could eat just plain ole dark chocolate, without the cream, nuts, and other things that pack the pounds on me.

Thank you for your comments and stopping by. Dark Chocolate eaten in moderation has many excellent traits. Now if you have high sugar maybe this is something to avoid.

Hi Robert (Bob) Gilbert ,  You just made my day.  I prefer dark chocolate over the regular, so that's great news.

Dark chocolate once a week?  I think it's healthier if you have  a little bit once a day!  It's my one non-quilty pleasure!

If I am going to have chocolate I want it to be rich and dark. It is a real treat that I don't get too often.

I buy 85% chocolate bars and melt them and mix in walnuts and raisins. I spread it out on a cookie sheet and harden in freezer. A very healthy and tastly snack!

Hi Bob... had to come over and see this post, which you mentioned on Roy Kelly's post today. I adore dark chocolate and so nice you can feel less guilty eating it. Have you tried Lily's dark chocolate without sugar? Yum!
