Why Eating Chocolate For Breakfast Is A Great Way To Start Your Day

A Selection Of Handmade Luxury Chocolates

A scientific study by Wolfson Medical Centre in Israel has shown that, contrary to popular belief, chocolate can help shrink your waistline, when enjoyed at the right time of day and in moderation.  Study participants who incorporated chocolate into their breakfast lost weight, as their cravings for sweet foods were reduced throughout the rest of the day.

In addition, starting the day with chocolate can improve your mood and energy levels and even reduce wrinkles!  Chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which encourages the release of ‘happy’ endorphins in the brain, meaning those who eat chocolate in the morning start the day feeling good.  If you have an early start and need a boost, theobromine in chocolate improves your energy levels.  And the natural fats and antioxidants in cocoa butter keep your skin hydrated and youthful, no matter how busy your day is.

To maintain a healthy lifestyle always aim for high quality chocolate.  Cheap chocolate that is mass produced and highly processed does not offer the same health benefits.  Typically, cheaper, less nutritious ingredients, like vegetable fat and refined sugar, are used to supplement cocoa butter and cane sugar in these recipes.

There’s only one way to experience for yourself the differences quality chocolate can make to your day.  Add chocolate to your breakfast table and conduct your own delicious experiment!
