Eating chocolate isn't just satisfying for the senses, it's healthy for the body too. We can say it with confidence: chocolate is a great ally for your diet, because the release of endorphins lifts our mood and counteracts cortisol, the stress hormone that, along with other factors, contributes to weight gain!
The recommended daily amount of chocolate ranges between 20 and 40 g, depending on your needs, so all you have to do is choose the percentage of dark chocolate that best suits your taste buds and the perfect moment for your relaxing break, a delicious treat for the mind and the spirit.
Scientific studies suggest that eating chocolate in the morning induces the oxidation of lipids, while eating chocolate in the evening induces the oxidation of carbohydrates(1).
Do you know what that means?
It means that chocolate, together with a healthy lifestyle, helps you lose those extra centimetres, which is exactly why you should eat it in summer too!
