The virtues of chocolate
Consumed in moderation, it has many virtues. It is not without reason that it has been consumed for millennia.
To fight against the effects of fatigue and which is also recommended to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke
First, good quality chocolate, has an antioxidant property thanks to the flavonoids and minerals (copper, zinc, manganese) contained in cocoa. It would help stimulate the brain and therefore concentration but would also lower blood pressure.
Eating a small square is also effective against stress. This thanks to the magnesium present, a mineral known to fight against the effects of fatigue and which is also recommended to reduce the risk of myocardial infarction or stroke.
Finally, good chocolate helps protect the body against bad cholesterol.
Advice from Patrick Roger, chocolate artist
It is of course necessary to favor chocolates without too much sugar and with a good cocoa content. Milk or white chocolate tablets, on the other hand, should be consumed in small quantities, otherwise they promote weight gain. No risk with dark chocolate on the other hand.
A chocolate must be clear. The best dark chocolates will never be very dark.
“A chocolate must be clear. The best dark chocolates will never be very dark. A praline is more revealed with a milk chocolate couverture. A lime ganache will balance much better with dark chocolate. But the best agreement remains love!
To taste, it should simply be good, without being too bitter. I strongly advise to taste it before the meal or at breakfast”.
