Does it seem like you're always craving chocolate? There may be a reason or two for that craving! Maybe you just need a sugar fix. Maybe you're having the 3 pm slump at work and a chocolate bar gives you that extra little oomph to finish up the day. Could be a habit, or you could even be deficient in magnesium. While the sugar and fat content in most chocolate bars isn't good for us, there are health benefits to the cocoa itself. It can help reduce inflammation and boost your immune system. Dark chocolate contains more cocoa than milk chocolate bars and typically has lower sugar content. If you're trying to avoid the constant chocolate cravings, try staying hydrated, eat a well balanced diet with healthy fats, and satisfy your sweet tooth with fruit and yogurt.
