What is it about chocolate that make it so irresistible? We eat for any reason; as a treat to reward ourselves, to lift us when we are down or in our favourite desserts. It ticks al the boxes, but we also know that we shouldn't eat the amount that we do, unless it was healthy chocolate of course.

Well you probably didn't know this but there is, and it still contains the good stuff such as the minerals and antioxidants. It doesn't however, have all the bad stuff in it.

The thing is we mess about with our chocolate something rotten. We get the basic product then add loads of other stuff to it, such as extra butter, sugar, milk solids etc which enhance the flavor but make it very fattening. Dark chocolate, however, doesn't have any of these added, but there is one more thing to think about.

This is a very strange fact; our body doesn't see chocolate as a food. It's just a carrier to bring all the sugars etc into our body which we them hang on to, dispelling the good stuff like the minerals without getting any benefit from them.

So for your body to properly absorb the healthier properties you have to eat with something else. This is where dark chocolate with fruit and nuts added is so good. You get the minerals, vitamins and antioxidants as well as the goodness from the fruit and the nuts.

As dark chocolate contains a lot of iron, eating it with foods high in Vitamin C ensures that all the nutrients are absorbed and you get all the benefits. You have the best of both world here; you get all the iron, vitamins etc and it tastes absolutely gorgeous as well.

For a chocolate fanatic, I once had the perfect job; as a chocolatier. Temptation was rife, but I stuck to dark chocolate and complemented it with vitamin C rich foods like nuts, dried fruits etc. When I had a routine blood test, it showed that the levels of vitamins and minerals were the best they had ever been, and even better, I put no weight on.

Next time you need your chocolate fix, ignore the fattening and unhealthy milk chocolate and reach for the dark chocolate with the fruit and nuts. No guilt but every bit as delicious.

Like everything else, if you eat too much chocolate it becomes unhealthy, so watch your consumption.
