Dietitian's Tips for Consuming 85% Cacao Dark Chocolate

Metabolic Effect: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants due to its high cocoa content and can help maintain balanced blood sugar levels. However, it is still an energy-dense food, so portion control is important.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dark chocolate alone, consuming it with a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts, which contain healthy fats, helps to raise blood sugar more evenly. Also, its antioxidant effect increases when consumed with coffee.
Things to Consider: Dark chocolate can cause weight gain if consumed excessively due to its high calorie content. It is sufficient to consume 2-3 small pieces a day. It can also trigger migraines in some people.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from dark chocolate, you need to walk briskly for about 1 hour or cycle for 30 minutes. This helps you maintain your daily energy balance.
