Easter Chocolate Cravings: The Power of Polyphenols
Chocolate isn't good for your waistline, but what about your heart? Alex tells us about the benefits of flavonols
With the Easter weekend over for another year and the family festivities drawing to a close, we can sit and contemplate one thing…just how much chocolate have I eaten the past few days?!
As one of the world’s best loved and most indulgent treats, we often regard chocolate as one of those “a little of what you like” foods. But are we just kidding ourselves? Is there any truth behind the phrase we…

Dark Chocolate - The Black Sheep of Sweets
There is a dark, subtle, and sublime treat out there that is not only healthy and good for you, but tastes absolutely divine. This one little snack has helped me teach my clients how to get rid of sugary and unhealthy snacks while still making them feel like they are indulging in something naughty.
Almost any woman you ask will say that chocolate is their greatest weakness. But when it comes to dark chocolate, this is one weakness you can definitely give in to.
We’re talking about dark chocolate. We’re talking about the really dark, almost bitter chocolates that have high amounts of cocoa in it, but not a lot of sugar. Dark chocolate is not sweet. Surprisingly though, it contains a lot of nutrients.
I usually suggest my clients to pair 1 to 2 ounces of dark chocolate with about 3 ounces of red wine. Combined, these two pack of flavonoid punch that is actually very healthy for your heart. It shown that when it person eats 1 oz of dark chocolate a day, their bad cholesterol can go down 5 to 10 points and the chances of a heart attack goes down about 5%. These may not be real high numbers for somebody with a severe risk, but it is a delicious way to start reducing the problem.
They’re also really low in calories and fat. For chocolate, it is the lowest. And when you go for the even darker varieties, fat and calories goes down and down.
Can you imagine getting almost 20% of your daily dose of iron in 1 ounce of dark chocolate? It’s true. Simply indulging in a little bit of dark chocolate will help increase your iron intake. This is especially important for us women especially around that time of the month when our iron needs go way up. This is also the same time when our chocolate cravings go way up.
When you eat a little bit of chocolate, you do get a little bit of caffeine. It’s actually less caffeine than what you can find in a cup of weak tea. It’s not enough to stimulate anyone, but it might give you a little bit of clarity if you have to do some work.
My favorite preparation of dark chocolate is actually to melt it and then dip fruit in it. So not only are you getting the health benefits of the dark chocolate, you’re getting an extra boost of fruit. You can also drop some in to warm almond milk for hot chocolate. Add shavings of dark chocolate on all types of desserts, and especially yogurt for an extra little kick. And if you watch some of the cooking channels, you’ll find all types of interesting creations made with chocolate.
Flavinoids: Certain Interesting Info
The world is actually on a wellness binge. At the very least that is the way that it seems at times. Anywhere you look someone is punting some type of weight loss supplement that is all natural and totally effective or some kind of natural skin cream or something along those lines. It really is far better and much more cost effective to put your diet to work for you. One of many substances that's in your daily diet and is an excellent health supplement is flavinoids. Flavonoids are actually really common and are consumed in most people's daily diet with out them even realising it. They are found in tea and tomatoes and all types of other foods that we eat without even thinking about how good they are for us. The main reason flavinoids are so great for us is because they are anti-oxidants that rival vitamin C in power and effectiveness. Anti-oxidants are used in the body to get rid of something referred to as free radicals which are a principal suspect in causing problems such as cancer. If you have a lot of free radicals in your system your wellbeing is going to start to suffer for it. Flavinoids are also utilized in conjunction with vitamin C to bolster the actual capillary walls and so you will bruise much less easily and not tend to bleed to easily. This is really useful if you're clumsy or are a very active individual who tends to get hurt frequently. They have also been shown to help with clearing up things such as allergies, asthma as well as hay fever as well as ever in lowering cholesterol levels. In fact, your immune system requires a specific amount of flavonoids to function correctly. Here are some key benefits to flavinoids: Immune system boosting: flavonoids boost your immune system and help it to protect against bacterial infections of all kinds a lot more effectively. Injury healing as well as recovery: simply because flavonoids strengthen capillary walls they can additionally help the body to recover and heal faster from all kinds of injuries. You may need a large amount of flavinoids though! Allergy help: flavonoids are nature's antihistamines. They actually stop your body from producing all the histamines which make you present with allergic reactions. The effectiveness of this particular aspect of flavonoids can be enhanced with magnesium supplements. Cholesterol and blood pressure levels: it has been found that people who have high levels of flavonoids within their systems have lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels than other people with a equivalent profile. It might be related, it might not, however extra flavonoids in your diet won't do you any harm in this regard. It is really not that easy to overdose on flavonoids in your daily diet. One of the highest flavinoid containing foods, cranberries, will only provide you with 13 mcg per cup while the RDA is thirty mg. Of course, if you do manage to get too many you might suffer from diarrhoea which isn't pleasant. Additionally you need to be careful of foods that contain flavonoids if you happen to be hypersensitive to tomatoes. The topic of bioavailability is a fascinating one indeed!
Is chocolate good for you?
If you are like 99.9% of people in this world, then chances are you like chocolate. Recent studies have shown that chocolate has some health benefits. They contain a compound called flavinoids, which act as antioxidants against free radicals that can damage healthy cells. If that wasn't reason enough for you to go straight to your local chocolatier, this substance has also been known to dilate blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure and take strain off your heart. In fact, these flavinoids are related to tannins that are found in wine and for the same reasons have had the medical community saying that a glass of red wine is good for your heart.
There is one caveat though. Some chocolate contains more of these flavinoids than others. Watch this link taken from the Dr. Oz website, where one of Dr. Oz's cronies, Dr. Randy Martin of the Piedmont Heart Institute, explains what kind of chocolate should be in your cupboard and why.
