When office workers have a lot of work to do, they have no time to take care of their stomachs. At this time, if you replenish the appropriate energy in time, it will not only quickly relieve hunger, but also will not have a significant impact on blood sugar, making people more resistant to hunger. Dark chocolate is the best choice. Chocolate helps to concentrate, strengthen memory and improve intelligence. Chocolate is an antioxidant food and has a certain effect on delaying aging.

The catechins contained in chocolate are as much as those in tea. Catechins can enhance immunity, prevent cancer, and interfere with the blood supply to tumors. 5. Chocolate is an antioxidant food and plays a certain role in delaying aging. 2When is the best time to eat chocolate?For people who eat 5-6 hours between meals, eating two pieces of chocolate (2 cm x 4 cm) about 3 hours after the first meal can quickly relieve hunger. I believe that many "overtime workers" have arranged their three meals in this way: breakfast at 8 o'clock, lunch at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening. At 12 o'clock noon, I am obviously hungry, but there are a lot of urgent work to deal with, so I have no time to take care of my stomach. The blood sugar level in the body will reach the lowest point 3-4 hours after a normal meal. At this time, if you replenish the appropriate energy in time, it will not only quickly relieve hunger, but also will not have a significant impact on blood sugar, making people more resistant to hunger. Dark chocolate is the best choice. Disadvantages of eating chocolate Disadvantages: Eating too much chocolate will only cause digestive problems. Like all foods with a high fat content (more than 30%), eating too much chocolate can also cause stomach pain (such as stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, etc.). Especially light chocolate, it has more fat and contains more polyols (eating too much can cause stomach cramps or diarrhea). Chocolate is a high-calorie food and should not be eaten too much. Generally speaking, about 30 grams each time is enough. 3Who is not suitable to eat chocolate?1. Children under 8 years old Children under 8 years old metabolize caffeine more slowly. Eating caffeinated chocolate may make them overexcited and have trouble falling asleep at night. In addition, the fat and sugar contained in dark chocolate are not necessary sources for children's growth and development. Eating too much can easily lead to obesity. 2. People who are prone to heartburn The main cause of heartburn is the reflux of acidic chyme, gastric juice and other irritants from the stomach into the esophagus. Studies have found that some foods can relax the cardia between the esophagus and the stomach, which is responsible for the gatekeeping work, and lose the function of blocking food reflux, and chocolate is one of them. 3. Pregnant and breastfeeding women The caffeine in chocolate will be passed to the fetus and baby through the placenta and breast milk. If pregnant or breastfeeding mothers consume more than 300 mg of caffeine, it will affect the brain development of the fetus or baby, so special attention should be paid. |
