A favorite delicacy that, experts say, we consume in the wrong way. This was proven by one of the studies in which they discovered that we may be eating chocolate the wrong way throughout our lives. In a survey of 78 respondents, the majority stated that they refrigerate chocolate before use. That’s completely wrong, because it is the optimal temperature at which it is stored is 18 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, it gives its true and full taste.
The recommendation of experts is to take a chocolate cube that melts in your mouth, just as it is it should not be chewed at all. When the chocolate melts gradually in the mouth, then all the taste receptors can recognize the note of butter and the real taste of chocolate. It is recommended to consume it in the morning, in between 9 and 11 o’clock.
“Chocolate is a delicacy with a complex taste. If we eat it in the morning and afternoon, it can even be a snack that helps us to continue working with a lot of energy. This reduces hunger until lunch,” said Natali Alibrandi, leader of the team of scientists who are food and beverage companies based in London and the Netherlands.

Experts recommend that chocolate be taken in small quantities, to avoid stimulating receptors. It is useful to combine it with other foods. Let’s say milk or white chocolate is nicely combined with bitter foods. A study published in The Journal of Nutrition suggests that eating chocolate can help lower cholesterol levels.
Scientists from Harvard pointed out that drinking two cups of hot chocolate during the day can keep our brain healthier and can improve memory in old people. It stimulates blood flow in certain parts of the brain.
