Chocolate, also called chocolate, is a sugary food made from cocoa beans as the main raw material. It tastes sweet and is rich in nutrients, and is popular with adults and children. However, if chocolate is often given to children as a nutritional supplement, it will do more harm than good. This is because the human body requires a certain proportion of various nutrients, of which protein should account for 10% to 15%, fat should account for 30% to 35%, and carbohydrates should account for 50% to 60%. Although chocolate is rich in nutrients, the proportion of various nutrients contained in it is far from what the human body needs. If you eat too much, it will disrupt the proportion of various nutrients in the human body and bring unnecessary consequences to the growth of children. trouble.

For example, chocolate contains too much fat and sugar. If a child eats a lot of chocolate, the excess fat and sugar will be converted into body fat, and the fat will accumulate in the body, making the child obese.

Another example is the theobromine and caffeine in chocolate, which have the effect of strengthening the heart and stimulating the brain. If children eat too much chocolate, they will become hyperactive and refuse to rest; if adults eat too much chocolate, it will easily lead to insomnia.

Also, chocolate is too sweet. Excessive consumption of chocolate will affect appetite and make children not want to eat. Moreover, overly sweet foods can also induce bad breath and tooth decay.

During the growth process of children, what they need most is protein, and the protein content in chocolate is very low.

It can be seen that neither children nor adults should eat too much chocolate
