Farmveda’s roasted peanut chocolate – Full of Nutrition and Taste

Of the various other discoveries of man, cocoa has definitely got to be one among the best. The joy and satisfaction that a single bar of rich, creamy chocolate can give is unmatched. This because of the mood-enhancing components present in cocoa. Tryptophan is one such component. 

Our body uses tryptophan to produce a mood-elevating substance called “serotonin” or the happiness hormone. Sugar present in chocolate also contributes to boosting one’s mood. When sugar gets into our body, it prompts our body to release insulin which in turn allows tryptophan to reach our brain, thereby instantly making us feel happy and joyful. Apart from making you happy and instantly lifting your mood, chocolate has various other health benefits!! Yes, you read it right. CHOCOLATE HAS VARIOUS HEALTH BENEFITS. The following is a list of the top 5 health benefits of chocolates:

• More often than not, chocolate is associated with indulgence than nutrition,

however, it can’t be denied that chocolate (or cocoa beans) contains plants. Nutrients called flavonoids. These flavonoids are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, tea, and even red wine!! They are known for their anti-viral, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties.

These antioxidants present in chocolate are vital in stimulating its various health benefits. Flavanols are the most prominent kind of flavonoid present in cocoa/chocolate.

• Atrial fibrillation is a condition wherein, the heartbeats are irregular, which can thereby lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. Studies in the British Medical Journal have proved that participants who consumed chocolate in moderate amounts possessed a lower risk of atrial fibrillation. The flavanols present in chocolate are responsible for lowering blood pressure and aid blood flow throughout the body.
• Consuming cocoa or cocoa-containing foods in moderate amounts has been linked to improving cardiovascular health owing to the high amounts of flavanols present in it. Cocoa can also increase the availability of endothelial nitric oxide, which is responsible for promoting dilation of blood vessels and helping to improve cardiovascular function. Flavanols present in cocoa can also lower the risk of blood clots and LDL or bad cholesterol.
• The flavanols present in dark chocolate (in particular) can help in the absorption of UV rays, increase blood flow to the skin, improve skin texture and increase skin hydration. High-quality dark chocolate, being rich in flavanols can fight inflammation and oxidative stress thereby ensuring healthy skin.
• Flavonoids in dark chocolate help reduce insulin resistance, which prevents spikes in blood sugar levels, discouraging you from overeating. Even smelling it can curb your appetite. All this thereby aids weight loss.

As stated above, eating chocolate in moderate amounts has umpteen benefits. 

However, there is a thin line of difference between nutrition and indulgence.

If eaten in large amounts, chocolates will definitely add to your calorie intake which can have an adverse impact on your health. But wait!! What if you can have the cake and eat it too?
