Add Chocolates to Your Diet: Enjoy a Healthier You!


Next time when you go for your household shopping buy chocolates with confidence! For all the information that highlights chocolates as unhealthy junk food there are studies to highlight to counter. Many of the chocolates have been found to be rich in nutrients and can be consumed as part of our regular diet.
One can also buy chocolates online and enjoy wide range of exciting options – complete with exotic combinations.
The best ways to make chocolates a part of our healthy diet may include the following three forms:
1. Dark chocolates: Chocolates with more than 70% cocoa are considered to be healthy. Eating such dark chocolates means you are consuming a food that is rich in antioxidants, fiber, iron, magnesium, copper and manganese in addition to many nutrients. Dark chocolates with less of cocoa are considered more of a dessert than a healthy food. Add some chocolate to your morning oatmeal or mix it with some frozen bananas to make a delicious ice cream or have a bit of the chocolate straight. Do not consume the entire bar at a time. 
2. Cacao Powder: Cacao powder is packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine. Cacao is rich in proteins too and is normally available in raw form. This ensures all the vitamins, enzymes and nutrients are not drained out. Cacao is bitter in taste and among other ways can best be used to make hot chocolate mixing almond milk and little of coconut nectar for some sweetness. 
3. Cacao nibs: Cacao nibs too are available in unprocessed raw form. Bits of the cacao beans are used while making candy bars and hot chocolates. They are a good source of nutrients and make a low calorie snack. Consuming cocoa nib lowers blood pressure and is good for the heart. It should not be consumed in large doses.
Buy chocolates online and enjoy options from Nestle, Cadbury, Mars (Snickers), Wrigley (Orbit) and more from the comfort of home. There are websites in the likes of Quick2kart that brings a wide list of options under chocolates and grocery staples.
