From the point of view of nutrition, acidic food and alkaline food actually refer to the ash obtained after food combustion, which is determined by the pH of the aqueous solution after being dissolved in water. Researchers at Hopkins University School of Medicine found that dark chocolate contains a compound that can reduce the degree of brain damage within 3.5 hours after a stroke. Researchers say that eating one serving of chocolate a week can reduce the risk of stroke by 22%.
Chocolate is a weakly acidic food, which is usually rich in protein, fat and sugar. Due to the high content of phosphorus and chlorine, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid and lactic acid are produced after metabolism in human body.
The pH of food does not affect eating or physical fitness, such as sour lemon, vinegar and alkaline baking soda. Nutrition should not be obtained from a single food, but only in quantity. Improve memory, enhance immunity and prevent colds. The delicious alkali contained in chocolate is beneficial to the health of nervous system, can delay aging and help maintain the elasticity of capillaries. For healthy people, it is generally enough to eat 20~30 grams a day. It is alkaline. The acidity and alkalinity of food depends on the type and content ratio of minerals contained in food: potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron react in an alkaline way after entering the human body; Phosphorus, chlorine and sulfur are acidic after entering the human body. Chocolate contains 30% fat, of which 60% is saturated fat. However, chocolate saturated fat contains unique stearic acid. It also contains many minerals necessary for good nutrition, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc and copper.
