Diet Tip of the Day

Healthy Chocolate and Weight Loss:

Fiber in cocoa is linked to decreased weight. Fiber helps block some fat absorption as well as a feeling of fullness. Cocoa’s flavonoid content can relieve inflammation (chronic inflammation is associated with low leptin levels, which increases appetite). They also increase insulin sensitivity and proper glucose metabolism, meaning if the sugar in your blood is being utilized properly, it doesn’t convert into fat.

Plus lots more health benefits including: boosts energy level, improve heart health, antibacterial agent. And, a Harvard University study found that eating dark chocolate three times a month could prolong a person’s life by roughly one year.

Note: the above does not apply to normal chocolate.

And it just so happens that my all-time favourite type of chocolate is 75%+ dark chocolate. :)
