Benefits of dark chocolate, how to eat cacao nibs

Do you like chocolate?? Personally, I prefer chocolate over candy ^^

Milk chocolate is loved for its smoothness, while dark chocolate has its own charm with its bittersweet taste.

I am going to write about the benefits of dark chocolate here.

Dark chocolate with positive effects not only on dieting but also on health

Shall we find out what benefits it has??

 

✅ Suppresses appetite (weight loss effect)

Kakao is rich in dietary fiber, so eating it before a meal quickly provides a feeling of fullness and reduces the risk of overeating. In fact, the best way to consume kakao ingredients is through 'cacao nibs.'

To experience the pure, rich flavor of cacao, it is best to eat cacao nibs directly as shown below. While chocolate may lack sweetness, it offers the best health benefits.

 

✅Prevent skin aging

Our body's cells gradually age due to reactive oxygen species during activity. This occurs as a natural part of the body's metabolism resulting from respiration.

Antioxidants help remove harmful reactive oxygen species and keep cells healthy. Such antioxidants are present in cacao at a level 50 times higher than in green tea. These antioxidants are also effective in preventing and delaying skin aging.

 

✅Improvement of brain function

The component called 'flavonoid' in Kakao increases blood flow to our brain, which can help prevent degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.

It also improves cognitive abilities and has a positive effect on alleviating depression. However, for this to be effective, the Kakao content must be at least 70%.

 

 

 

How to eat cacao nibs

Cacao nibs are a food ingredient derived from cacao. However, unlike chocolate itself, cacao has a bitter taste, so people's preferences may vary.

However, if you want to purely consume cacao ingredients, 'cacao nibs' are the best choice. Since eating them plain can be inconvenient, it is recommended to blend them with beverages like soy milk or almond milk using a blender, according to your preference.

Dark chocolate precautions

Kakao is known to have almost no toxicity to our bodies and generally does not require special caution depending on individual constitution. However, since it contains caffeine, those who are pregnant or suffering from insomnia should be cautious about excessive consumption.
