Hello Steemit! 👋

Dark chocolate is a chocolate that contains a higher percentage of cocoa which is a powder made from roasted and ground cacao seeds.

Dark chocolate is better than other chocolate like white chocolate. White chocolate contains a lot of saturated fat which is linked to higher cholesterol levels. Infact white chocolate is actually not a chocolate, it is a high calorie confection which is made without cocoa, so it doesn’t contain any of the possible health benefits.

  • Minerals -Dark chocolate contains a variety of minerals such as iron, magnesium, copper and manganese.

  • Improve Brain & Heart Function -Dark choc may also improve the function of the brain because it's made from cocoa as cocoa contains stimulant substance like caffeine and theobramine which is a key reason cocoa can improve brain function. The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology also states that it's good for the heart.

  • Dark Chocolate For Beauty -I've also found out through Style Craze that dark chocolate also promotes skin glow, reduces hair loss and treat scalp infection!

How To Pick The Right Dark Chocolate?

The higher the percentage, the darker the chocolate, the better. However, there must be a balance in consuming dark chocolate. Otherwise, there is a danger of putting extra weight.

So try to use just the right amount of dark chocolate as a replacement for other sweets!
