Tuesday Treats: Chocolate


If you have a chocolate craving then be wise and choose the chocolate with the least number of calories – which basically means dark chocolate. The milkier the chocolate the more calories.

Two or three squares – NOT bars of dark chocolate! Can actually be good for your health as it can lower stress levels due to the antioxidants it contains.

Research has shown that if you eat 6.7 grams of chocolate every day it can help to protect you from inflammation which can lead to cardiovascular disease.

As you can see eating small amounts of chocolate can be good for you and don't forget that if you deprive yourself completely the stronger the cravings will become. So, think wisely and savour 2 or 3 squares of dark chocolate – enjoy!
