For body and mind
Chocolate is high in nutrients and energy, but also in sensorial stimuli. Its consumption - in moderate quantity - gratifies the spirit, satisfy the palate and balances the humour with a tonic and energetic action. Furthermore, chocolate includes nutrition-free components like the flavonoids, that have an antioxidant effect on the radicals produced by the cellular metabolism.
For sport - and against stress
Among different kinds of food, chocolate has the highest energy content, and is therefore useful for all those who have to perform prolonged physical efforts. Rich in nutrients and micro-nutrients (magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, copper, potassium and vitamins), as well as in protective substances, it functions as a fuel for sportsmen and as an anti-stress for workers.
For little kids - and for grown-ups, too.
Thanks to its stimulating action on both appetite and the nervous system, chocolate fits perfectly in the children's diet - as well as in that of the elderly, too.
