For people with an interval of 5-6 hours between meals, eating two pieces of chocolate (2 cm× 4 cm in size) about 3 hours after the first meal can quickly relieve hunger. I believe that many "overtime workers" have arranged the schedule of three meals in this way: breakfast at 8 o'clock, lunch at 1 o in the afternoon and dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening. At noon 12 o'clock, I am obviously hungry, but I have a lot of work to deal with, but I have no time to take care of my stomach. People's blood sugar will reach the lowest point in 3-4 hours after normal meals. At this time, if appropriate energy is supplemented in time, it will not only quickly relieve hunger, but also have no significant impact on blood sugar, making people more hungry, and dark chocolate is the best choice.

Because dark chocolate is a low glycemic index food, it turns into glucose and enters the blood, slowly releasing energy in the body, so that the blood sugar will drop to the fasting level after 2-3 hours. In addition, dark chocolate also contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, copper and other minerals that are beneficial to the human body. Among all chocolates, it has the lowest sugar content and fat content.

Therefore, eating a piece of chocolate when you are hungry is far more healthy, nutritious and effective than stuffing a biscuit and cake casually. The latest research shows that dark chocolate can also prevent atherosclerosis.

Many people are concerned about whether eating chocolate will cause obesity. A piece of 47 grams of chocolate accounts for about 10% of each person's total daily energy. Healthy people can safely eat it under the condition of maintaining energy balance. However, experts also reminded that after all, chocolate is a highly nutritious food, and we should regard it as a part of our daily diet instead of an extra snack to avoid excessive calories. When you feel hungry and have no time to eat, 3-5 small pieces of dark chocolate, a fruit and a bottle of mineral water can be the most convenient and effective way to replenish your energy.

Although chocolate can be used as a meal substitute, it is best not to do it often.

In addition, before you exercise, eating chocolate before exercise can not only relieve your appetite, but also help your body to replenish some energy, improve your body's excitability and make your body less tired. Moreover, after exercise, the chocolate you eat can basically make up for consumption.

Or when you are tired from work or study, you can treat yourself and refresh yourself.
