"For people who have an interval of 5 to 6 hours between meals, eating two pieces of dark chocolate (2 cm x 4 cm in size) about 3 hours after the first meal can quickly relieve hunger." Sports Medicine Research of Peking University Third Hospital

Dr. Chang Cuiqing has prescribed the best "energy supplement prescription" for "overtime workers" who have irregular diets.

I believe many "overtime workers" have arranged their three-meal schedule like this: breakfast at 8 o'clock, lunch at 1 p.m., and dinner at 8 p.m.

At 12 o'clock at noon, I am obviously hungry, but there are so many urgent tasks at hand that I have no time to take care of my stomach.

Blood sugar in a person's body will reach its lowest point 3 to 4 hours after a normal meal. At this time, if appropriate energy is replenished in time, it will not only quickly relieve hunger, but also not have a significant impact on blood sugar, making people more tolerant.

If you are hungry, dark chocolate is the best choice.

Since dark chocolate is a low-glycemic index food, it turns into glucose and enters the bloodstream, slowly releasing energy in the body, so that it takes 2 to 3 hours for blood sugar to drop to the level of fasting.

In addition, dark chocolate also contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper and other minerals that are beneficial to the human body.

It has the lowest sugar and fat content of all chocolates.

Therefore, eating a piece of chocolate when you are hungry is far healthier, more nutritious and more effective than just stuffing a piece of biscuit or cake randomly.

The latest research shows that dark chocolate can also prevent atherosclerosis.

Many people are concerned about the issue of "will eating chocolate cause obesity?" A 47-gram piece of chocolate accounts for about 10% of the total energy per person per day. Healthy people can eat it with confidence as long as they maintain energy balance.

After all, chocolate is a highly nutritious food, and we should regard it as part of our daily diet, rather than as an extra snack to avoid excessive calories.

When you feel hungry and don’t have time to eat, 3 to 5 small pieces of dark chocolate, a piece of fruit, and a bottle of mineral water can be the most convenient and effective way to replenish energy.

Although chocolate can be a "meal replacement", it is best not to do it often.
