Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Dark Chocolate

Metabolic Effect: Dark chocolate can increase insulin sensitivity and help balance blood sugar due to its flavonoid content. However, excessive consumption can cause weight gain due to its high fat content.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming dark chocolate alone, consuming it with a handful of nuts containing healthy fats, such as almonds or hazelnuts, ensures a more balanced rise in blood sugar. Also, its antioxidant effect increases when consumed with coffee.
Things to Consider: When buying dark chocolate, pay attention to the high cocoa ratio (70% and above) and low sugar ratio. One small piece of dark chocolate (about 5 grams) contains approximately 25-30 calories and can satisfy your daily sweet needs.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn 100 calories from dark chocolate, you need to walk briskly for about 15 minutes. This can help you stay healthy while enjoying a small piece of dark chocolate a day.
