Chocolate and Diabetes: A delicate union, but possible!
Do you feel guilty when you eat chocolate? And if you're diabetic, you might think it's a forbidden pleasure.
Rest assured, chocolate can still have a place in your life, provided you choose it wisely!
👉 Cocoa, this little unsung hero
Let us tell you about cocoa, this magical ingredient. It's a true treasure trove of nutrients!
Rich in flavonoids, those antioxidant superheroes, and packed with magnesium, phosphorus, and iron, it's much more than just a sweet treat. For diabetics, it's an ally.
Imagine: it can help fight oxidative stress, improve insulin sensitivity, and even reduce inflammation. Not bad for a small square of chocolate, right?
👉 Dark Chocolate: Your New Best Friend
If you want to enjoy chocolate guilt-free, opt for dark chocolate. And not just any dark chocolate: we're talking about the kind that contains at least 70% cocoa.
For your information, the higher the cocoa percentage the chocolate has, the less sugar it contains.
Why choose dark chocolate containing 70% cocoa?
- Its Glycemic Index is low (22)
- It is rich in flavanols
- It contains little sugar
- It contains many essential nutrients
It's a bit like a superfood disguised as a treat!
👉 Some practical advice
How can you incorporate this little pleasure into your daily life? Here are some tips:
- A square after dinner to calm the cravings
- A mid-afternoon portion as a little boost
- Always in moderation: one or two portions per day, no more!
👉 A word about milk chocolate and white chocolate?
Milk chocolate? Yes, but only for occasional consumption. It's much sweeter and less nutritionally beneficial.
White chocolate? We don't recommend it: its glycemic index is very high and it's low in beneficial nutrients.
