Chocolate has health benefits
Rotary club of Dhauladhar Palampur wishes on national chocolate day on 28.10.21. Speaking on this occasion president of club and secretary of club who is nutritional biotechnologist said that can you believe eating chocolate has health benefits? Chocolate contains flavonoid compounds that act as antioxidants. As antioxidants they reduce free radicals produced by oxygen, lower LDL cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and reduce platelets aggregation. Eating as little as 7 grams of dark chocolate may reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Be careful though eating too many calories from chocolate may lead to weight gain .
Aim for eating 90 to 100 kcal/d of dark chocolate to gain health benefits without gaining weight.
