Chocolate is the name
of the processed food from the cocoa bean. Chocolate is generally given as a
gift or gifts at the feast. With the form, style, and unique flavors, chocolate
is often used as an expression of gratitude, sympathy or attention. Even as an
expression of love. Chocolate also has become one of the most popular flavors
in the world. It also said the danger of consuming chocolate when grieving
"According to research from the foundation Food For The Brain fronted by a
group of physicians, researchers, nutritionists, and psychologists suggest a
link between diet and mental health," wrote the Daily Mail, Thursday,
August 22, 2013. It turned out too; blood sugar levels can affect a person's
behavior. Deborah Colson, a therapist nutrition, said, "The balance of
poor blood sugar is often the single largest factor in people suffering from
depression, anxiety, and emotionality." The sooner the sugar into the
body, the insulin level will increase. This will make sugar instead stored as
fat instead of burning it into energy. From here, the blood sugar levels to
rise. The higher the blood sugar levels then one's mental health is getting
worse. The body will feel hungry, angry, depressed, and could not think
clearly. Indeed, many studies linking, chocolate can reduce stress. However, it
is good to pay attention to the levels of sugar in it. Instead, relieve stress;
chocolate (rich in sugar) can actually exacerbate them.
Research and research,
which proves that chocolate, has health benefits. Bioactive substances in the
form of antioxidants are believed to be beneficial in terms of medical,
psychological and consuming chocolate can cause a sense of comfort. Even so not
to be deluded by the properties of this delicious sweet foods Nan. It is worth
considering again or even more wisely choose chocolate products because it is
not impossible that you will receive disadvantages than benefits expected from
these foods. Brown emerged as a snack after a prominent medical journal in its
latest edition states that the efficacy of chocolate is now widely
"abused". For that, we need to be reconsidered. In the journal,
Lancet reported that many chocolate manufacturers now actually remove the
content of flavones because of the bitter taste. As a result, many chocolate
products on the market today are dominated only fat and sugar only. Though both
of these substances it is the enemy of the heart and blood vessels. Many
studies have suggested that eating chocolate can reduce the risk of heart
disease, lower blood pressure and relieve tired.
But according to an
article written in the Journal Lancet, chocolate can actually deceptive. When
the chocolate company to make confectionery, the natural cocoa solid material,
which makes the colors, becomes blacker and flavones, which are bitter, removed
it. Therefore, it looks dark chocolate can be no flavone. Consumers are always
blinded by the flavone content of chocolate because manufacturers rarely give
information about this update in the product, "wrote the Lancet. The
Journal also noted that although the flavones contained in cocoa products,
chocolate lovers must remain alert substances or other content. "The devil
in the dark chocolate is the fat, sugar and calories contained in them. To get
the properties for health, for which likes to eat dark chocolate in moderation
should balance it by reducing the intake of other foods. This job is not easy
even for a diligent in keeping the intake of calories, though, "said
Lancet. In people with allergies and food intolerance chocolate is the main
enemy. People with food allergies because chocolate is usually with the
symptoms of frequent abdominal pain, sensitive skin, acne, headaches,
migraines, asthma, persistent cough, difficulty defecate, and impaired
concentration must be careful in consuming chocolate. Similarly, the behavioral
disorders like Autism and ADHD and learning disorders chocolate should pay
particular attention to avoid. Maybe the dark chocolate some people with
allergies or intolerance can accept, but other forms of chocolate often cause
prolonged complaints. This happens because in the processing of chocolate is
also accompanied by various substances and other additives to make sense of bitterness.
Sometimes it additional substance which causes an allergic reaction in people
with allergies or intolerance.
But the study,
conducted in Boston and has been published in the journal of the American Heart
Association, 32 thousand respondents assess Swedish women aged between 48 and
83 years for nine years. Diet experts expressed eat chocolate too often, in
fact, has an effect damaging and unhealthy for the body. The study also noted
that one or two servings of chocolate, about 19 to 30 grams, per week could
reduce the risk of heart failure by 30 percent. That figure dropped to 26
percent when a person just eats chocolate one to three times each month.
However, those who ate chocolate every day even invisible decreased risk of
heart problems at all. Researchers conclude the protective effect will be
reduced if eating chocolate is less than or more than the optimum size, i.e.
one or two servings a week.
Why too much chocolate
is dangerous? Because chocolate contains high levels of sugar and fat that can
trigger an increase in the weight of a person, according to the researchers.
However, according to previous studies, chocolate also contains high
concentrations of flavonoids in high levels can reduce blood pressure and
protect against heart attacks, the researchers say this is the first time the
long-term effects on heart failure revealed in the study. "You cannot ignore
that chocolate is a high-calorie diet and habit of consuming large amounts may
increase the risk of weight gain," said study leader and director of the
Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Boston, Murray Mittleman.
