This afternoon I feel idle. It feels like i want to eat a snack. I really want to eat sweet food, but coincidentally the snacks at home are running out. This is because lately my family have been busy at home. We didn't have time to shop at the shops, usually we chose to order food online. The rest, we were immersed in busyness until late at night.

Since we still don't know what food to order, so I looked for snacks in the refrigerator. It turned out that all that's left is cheese and chocolate. Then I took a bar of chocolate and ate it happily.

Talking about chocolate, of course I don't dare to eat it in large quantities because the substances in chocolate are not good for health.

Here are the bad effects of eating too much chocolate!

Bad Effects :

1. Weight gain due to the high calorie content in chocolate

2. Besides that, chocolate also contains a lot of sugar which can trigger cavities, damage caries, and cause tooth discoloration. Eating too much chocolate can also make us suffer from diabetes.

3. The content of caffeine in chocolate, gives the effect of anxiety, restless feeling, until experience sleep disturbances.

So, please don't consume it too much

1. Excessive consumption of chocolate can also trigger gastrointestinal problems. Such as cramps and stomach ulcers, colon irritation, to diarrhea. This happens because chocolate is acidic and acidic foods can increase the acidic fluid in the stomach, causing a series of diseases above.

Besides the bad effects, of course chocolate also has a good impact. Here's the review.

Good Impact :

1. The flavonoid content in chocolate is able to improve blood flow to the brain so that cognitive function can function properly and memory increases sharply.

   The content of flavonoids also serves to increase the production of nitric oxide, this substance makes blood vessels dilate and blood pressure drops.

   Nitric oxide can also lower bad cholesterol that triggers heart attacks.

2. Chocolate contains polyphenols and theobromine. This makes the brain able to increase the good cholesterol in the body.

3. In addition to the scientific explanation above, chocolate is also good for skin beauty. Such as increasing the brightness of skin color, eliminating acne, to overcoming dead skin cells.

Especially for beauty, you can use it as a mask, scrub or bath.

And for health, use it wisely.

Nutritionists as quoted on the Loffieciel page recommend to often consuming small portions of chocolate.

The rule of thumb, for adult men and women who don't have significant health problems, can consume 30-50 grams of dark chocolate every day.

If your daily physical activity is high, you can consume 1.5 times more than the dose. For white chocolate, consumption is no more than 20 grams per day.

Nutritionists also suggest, in consuming chocolate, it's better to eat it at some time per bar. For example, in the morning, eating chocolate fat and carbohydrates contained in it will be absorbed better.

When eating in the afternoon, chocolate will increase the production of hemoglobin. Then at night, eat a piece of chocolate because it can help release stress and make you calmer.

Well, it turns out that everything in this world must always have a measure, right? Now you don't have to be afraid to eat chocolate anymore, because it's safe for health as long as the portion is right.
