"Not that chocolate is a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, you admit to, much more reliable than men!" - Miranda Ingram
Ah, chocolate ... These sweet delicacies that our women are so happy ... How would the world be ugly place without it, try to imagine. Terrible, is not it? What is the best chocolate is very, very healthy. However, here are talking about dark chocolate (more than 65 percent cocoa), and not those of the "so-called chocolate", packed with sugar, additives and milk - which, experts say, contaminating the purity and essence of cocoa.   Yes, just as you begin to enjoy the true dark chocolate you will be able to declare the true connoisseurs and gourmets.

Chocolate is a very complex food with over 300 chemicals and ingredients in every bite. To really enjoyed it and learned to appreciate it - take your time when eating. The first smell and then eat slowly,   let it melt in your mouth and then wait a bit with another morsel to all your receptors enjoy this feast for all your senses.

As with wine, dark chocolate and the need to get used to the taste, but once you begin to recognize the right quality chocolate means and how rich the taste can be - you no longer want or see the "call-by-chocolate". But you will start to pay more attention to the higher percentage of cocoa in chocolate, as a higher percentage to a healthier chocolate.

Effect of chocolate on health

Dark chocolate is great for your heart, a few squares a day (two or three) can help you keep your heart and cardiovascular system healthy.

Chocolate stimulates endorphin production, which gives us a sense of pleasure and satisfaction

  Did you know that chocolate can arouse a woman more than passionate kissing? It sounds unbelievable, but true - but it must be a chocolate with a cocoa high percentage.

Is not there a lot of fat chocolate?

Well, that just would not be too perfect. But the good news is that most of those affected by fat or good or no effect on cholesterol. Oleic acid, monounsaturated fatty acids that are found in olive oil, makes the third of the fat in chocolate. It is known that chocolate contains saturated fats, dominated by saturated stearic fatty acid, which contributes the least increase cholesterol levels and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease, and does not create clusters and does not damage the blood vessels. So the level of blood fats (egg cholesterol) due to eating chocolate will not grow!

As with red wine, which is healthy to drink a glass a day, and not healthy when it goes too far - as it is chocolate. It still has 100 grams of even 560 calories, which means they really have to be careful while consuming no matter how difficult it was to stand. It is said that moderation is a virtue, and such rest is chocolate. Devote more attention because the enjoyment in every delicious bite.

Study recently conducted by nutritionists, biochemists and physicians, indicating that the connection between the flavonoids found in chocolate and fine muscle layer of blood vessels. 


Although summer offers plenty of healthy and fresh foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs, many of us crave "artificial" energy sources. We can always opt for water, juices and cold teas, but there is a (not so small) opposition group of women who, instead of the wealth of vitamins and fiber, and even chooses to fly the famous products of cocoa beans. In the black beverage or dairy bars would not be discussed again in a negative context (counting calories and saturated fatty acids), we bring good news to all choco-addicts. 

Study recently conducted by nutritionists, biochemists and physicians, indicating that the connection between the flavonoids found in chocolate and fine muscle layer of blood vessels. Indirectly, the flavonoids from the seeds of cocoa tree has a beneficial effect on our body as it relaxes the blood vessels (to prevent loss of elasticity), which can help prevent some of their disease. Interestingly, the knowledge of the products is growing up steadily, and today is widely known that the black - for cooking, with a higher percentage of cocoa healthier while she dairy, gift you like to give milk rich in fat, simple sugars and her lack of valuable flavonoids.

In the end, of course we must not generalize about the benefits of a general picture, but the results are promising at least for now, and although it would be premature to say that dark chocolate is becoming a universal remedy for diseases of the heart and blood vessels, we can safely say that it will become even more interesting foods that will (knowing our eating habits and hedonism expressed) in the Serbian culinary world just to experience the expansion.
