Dark Chocolates

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 ·




I love chocolates.  It’s the perfect dessert to end a wonderful meal. A chocolate bar is enough to put a smile on my face. But even if I love it, I have to control myself from eating too much of it because of the extra calories it can put on my body.

Hershey’s  Special Dark Chocolate is one of my favorites simply because it’s a little healthier compared to the other types of chocolate.

Dark chocolates have more cocoa compared to the other variety of chocolates.  More cocoa means that it contains more Epicatechins, an active compound that belongs to the flavoniods group. Flavonoids prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the blood vessels, thus, preventing these from forming into blood clots, therefore reducing the risk of heart disease.

Of course, even if it’s healthy you have to still watch your intake of it because its calories can make you gain weight.
