We all love chocolate and most of our kids are raised with the addiction too! Is it a bad thing? Well, I believe that food is certainly about our health and nourishment but it is also about pleasure and enjoyment. When it comes to chocolate, kids will eat it -- even if it's the dark variety.
Of course I am not a chocolate expert, but as I know dark chocolate is good for health. It
prevents depression, it is a delicious source of energy and it does have milk and cocoa which are very useful in a diet. It is extracted from the seeds of cacao plant and as it is natural so it contains benefits that are natural too.
According to a rich study, taking up over 1.6 ounces of dark chocolate daily proves to be healthy for our body. It increases our brain power, it is good for our heart too.
However, even dark chocolate can be high in calories, so children -- and adults! -- should consume it in moderation. Also, many chocolates are also filled with unhealthy fillings consisting mainly of sugar and fat, making them less than healthy choices. Chocolate has other risks, especially when it is eaten in large quantities. For example, I always have a skin rush after eating much chocolate.
To sum up, I believe that chocolate isn’t harmful for children. They can enjoy eating sweets and chocolates but only in a moderate amount and finest quality.
So get your kids trying dark, finest quality chocolate.
