There are three main types of chocolate, and they are white chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. Usually, everybody goes with their favourite. But eating Milk chocolates is highly beneficial to us. Milk chocolate has a name for contributing to weight gain due to its high fat, sugar, and caloric content.
The Percentage of Cocoa solids is 20-30%. But time of eating chocolate may differentially affect energy balance and impact body weight due to changes in energy intake, substrate oxidation, microbiota composition and their function, and circadian-related variables. Morning or night-time, chocolate intake does not lead to weight gain.
Eating chocolate in the morning or in the evening can influence hunger and appetite, microbiota composition, sleep and more.
A high intake of chocolate during the morning hours could help to burn fat and reduce blood glucose levels. Consumption of white chocolate must be in an alternate time with proper exercise.
Chocolate consumption may help prevent formation of artery plaques and improve blood flow. It may also have anti-cancer benefits because the flavonoids in chocolate may help reduce cell damage. Since the hypothalamus helps regulate food intake, this could explain why chocolate is more likely to reduce a woman’s hunger, or at least her motivation to eat more chocolate. Confectioners add vanillin to many milk chocolates to enhance its flavour. American brand white chocolate often contains butyric acid, which adds a sour note to the chocolate’s taste.
