Chocolate is the absolute comfort food. Over numerous years, chocolate has had a bad rap due to it’s high fat content in resulting with acne outbreaks, obesity and other diseases. However, according to many studies, it is not all that bad. Chocolate does have many health benefits. But not all chocolate is the same. Today, chocolate has tremendous antioxidant potential. The higher the quality content of the cocoa, the more well being benefits it has to offer and with less sugar, which is extremely beneficial for your overall health. For instance, chocolate helps to lower cholesterol, helps with memory, reduces heart disease risk, boosts athletes’ performance, lowered risks of diabetes and heart disease and plus so much more. Always remember moderation is the key. So, with all that being said, go ahead and have that piece of chocolate.
