- In this video Dr Hansaji Yogendra speaks about a subject often considered indulgent and unhealthy: Chocolate.
While many see chocolate as a guilty pleasure to be savored sparingly on special occasions, it turns out that chocolate can be good for you in various ways.
We're referring to dark chocolate, which possesses health benefits without the additives.
Let's explore some of the benefits of dark chocolate.
Healthier skin- The flavonoids present in dark chocolate may help shield your skin from damage caused by the sun's UV rays.
Abundant in antioxidants, which safeguard your cells from harm.
Enhances cognitive function and provides protection against age-related cognitive decline.
Improves insulin sensitivity and helps reduce the risk of diabetes.
Promotes heart health by lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Natural mood enhancer. It contains a compound called phenylethylamine, which stimulates the release of endorphins, the 'feel-good' chemicals in your brain.
So, instead of reaching for a sugary snack, consider grabbing a piece of dark chocolate the next time you're feeling down.
Remember, like anything else, it's crucial to consume dark chocolate in moderation.
Overindulgence can quickly lead to unhealthy outcomes.
Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup cocoa nibs
1/2 cup coconut oil or cocoa butter
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Grind the cocoa nibs into a fine powder, sieve it, and set it aside.
In a double boiler, melt the coconut oil or cocoa butter over low heat.
Once melted, add the cocoa nibs powder, vanilla extract, and salt to the double boiler. Stir until well combined.
Remove the double boiler from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Add honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a chocolate mold or a lined baking dish.
Place the mold or dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
Once hardened, remove the chocolate from the mold or dish and break it into pieces.
Voila! Your homemade dark chocolate is now ready to enjoy. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

What about Suger patients ???
Is this pure vegetarian recipe
Namaste, 1 piece of dark chocolate (low in sugar) is okay, but make sure that you consume only when you get extreme cravings.
Madam, what about pcod? Can i eat a little bit?
I ❤ eating 85% dark chocolate. Much healthier than Cadbury's milk chocolate. 😊
I started eating 85% dark chocolate (one 45mm square per day) as part of a fitness drive. I must admit at first it tasted pretty bland but after a few weeks I look forward to its creamy taste as the last thing I eat at night. I break it into four and let each piece slowly melt in my mouth - Mmmmm, wonderful! 🍫
Will try the dark chocolate recipe. I like dark chocolates. This time I bought Amul bitter chocolate 75% cacao.It's pretty bitter in taste and not that bad as we adapt.
The one I bought was 95@%. It was bitter.
Yes, true we can make at home using jaggery
I also like dark chocolate very much if we take it in a limited amount i doesn't give you any bad effect, we should have to take 30g of dark chocolate every early morning it will give you so many good benefits .
Can we consume 100% cocoa powder instead of dark chocolate??
Hu dark chocolate with no dairy has been helping me improve my IBS drama I had this past year !! I get the one that has no dairy no soy ! It's been working wonders
When I have a problem about anything that related to health and nutrition ,I found out that there is always a solution in this amazing channel 💗
Which cocoa nibs do you consume and is good for our health ?
Thank You for this precious information!
I love bitter chocolate of amul a piece everyday.
😶
It's not healthy as it contains a lot of added sugar. Pls refer to the carton for further details. I would recommend amuls sugar free or 99% dark chocolate instead.
😂😂 It is not healthy it is filled with harmful chemicals
@@rohitraghavan7552😅 0:57 😅
It's healthy if we take amul dark chocolate 70% and above
When buying dark chocolate, avoid those that list alkali processing (or Dutch processing). This process diminishes the health benefit because it reduces the amount of healthy flavanols. I find that I enjoy 85% cacao dark chocolate and consume it daily for the health benefits and because I LOVE chocolate.
I am fascinated - I have to try this recipe! Thank you! 😋🙏
I have always insisted on dark chocolate since I was kid. Now, I know! Thanks for the excellent tip!
Ye never liked overly sugary chocolates in the market, always loved to have dark chocolates but my friends called me tasteless for that lol, now I know why I liked dark chocolates it always have a good effect on my body after done eating. I general Classification of tasty food is simply if after eating it I feel good in both my mouth and gut I consider it a tasty food 😅😅
Individuals who call you tasteless for enjoying dark chocolate probably means they prefer their food doused in oils and smothered in corn syrup or something. The type of people that can't enjoy some nuggets or a bagel without ketchup or cream cheese or else they'll die or something. Truthfully speaking, you have better tastebuds than them for being able to savor and enjoy all normal and natural ingredients.@@mrtk-ph5sy
Can we use cocoa powder in place of cocoa nibs?
Raw unprocessed cacao is the most beneficial form...
Dark chocolate is for early and late winter.
I cut down all my sugar cravings, no more cookies and even cooking without sugar, if I need sugar I just a fruit, and now 90% pure dark chocolate mmm
Not 90 99
Which brand for dark chocolate ?
Thank you for such wonderful and informing videos❤ my question is, how much chocolate is considered too much?
Same question here....how much is good enough since I have a tendency to go overboard when it comes to chocolate.
Every year in December our father,s younger brother comes to my house when he comes he will also bring dark chocolates worth 2000 RS only one chocolate but he will bring 5 chocolates he comes from finland
Thank you mam. You are a blessing to us😊😊😊!!
Thank you-Danyavaad for the information , also chocolate is a stimulant and cen affect sleep so have it in morning! Its also a good source of Iron for vegans like myself! Also most of us are lacking in the bitter taste according to Ayurveda ❤
Amazing benefits of eating dark chocolate thanks Dr.madam
Thank you Dr.Hansaji for making a video on the benefits of dark chocolate & also for the recipe . Excellent tips 👌👍👌
Cocoa beans were used as a currency by the Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations
What would "enjoyed in moderation" mean practically? Once a month or once a week?
Namaste, once a week
Wow very yummy dark chocolate recipe and very useful video as we have a wrong opinion about chocolate, thank you so much for sharing ma'am.
WhatI like about your videos is they are good AND SHORT.
What amount of dark chocolate should be taken daily??
Namaste, Consuming about a small piece approx 30 to 60 grams of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) a day is considered reasonable and beneficial.
Oh my dear Ma ‘ am ,I need a chocolate 🍫 factory ! I love ❤️ it so much ! ❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️
Mam in Amazon it shows rawroasted cocoa nibs. Will it melt. They say the texture is like broken nuts.
I’m glad I saw this video today. I ran across some articles yesterday about dark chocolate and that some can contain heavy metals like lead and cadmium. Is there any truth to this and how can you avoid heavy metals when purchasing chocolate or even the nibs if you make your own?
Namaste, You can prepare dark chocolate at home by using cocoa nibs which are pure.
@@theyogainstituteofficial
Hello! Thank you very much! ❤️
@theyogainstituteofficial the cocoa nibs show in this video are looking more like chocolate chips. Organic cocoa nibs are uneven w/o particular shape. Which one to use? Cocoa nibs or chips?
@@theyogainstituteofficialcan I eat nibs directly in solid or liquid form instead of making chocolate ?
Are cocoa beans also useful?
How much dark chocolate is save per day plz reply
Thank you for the recipe too
The nibs of dark chocolate, what process did they go through before you put it through your own process? And how can we know that there are not already additives it the dark chocolate we purchase? For example buying in bulk.
Use cocoa powder instead. I make it and love it.
Ma'am!! Is there any other option to get pure dark chocolate from market instead of preparing it at home🌸?..
Namaste, check online
what is that moderation eating? everyday how much portion of dark chocolate is fine?
Absolute truth!!
Ma'am please tell me where can I find cocoa nibs and any specific brand ?
Namaste. You can get them on any online platform or store and we do not recommend any brand . Just ensure its from a reputed brand and does not have colors and preservatives
Cocoa contain caffeine. Caffeine is not considered in satvic food . So should one who's on satvic diet consume it or not?
I'd say if you are pursuing any sort of yogi lifestyle and aiming for a sattvic state of mind, then it is wise to avoid it or have it very sparingly. Also try to eat it when it is cool outside and you are feeling calm and peaceful, eating when it is too hot or you are stressed or angry may put you more out of balance.
Namaste, Yes, if you are following satvic diet, than avoid cocoa. But dark chocolate is one of the healthy alternatives for people having sugar cravings.
@@theyogainstituteofficial so is coffee or tea considered in sattvic food or not?
Coffee make me feel heat@@hemlatavvarshney
Nice, thanks!
Can I use any other sweetner such as jaggery, coconut sugar etc
Thank you so much
Informative video 😊
I may keep in mind.
not sure, they can over stimulate the nervous system, maybe due to oxalates and caffeine ! I'd get my sweetness by more raw fruit !
I liked the word guilty plessure, if it is a matter of sweets and chocolate every time i feel this
Is there is any dark chocolate available in the market without too much additive sugar?
Amul has 0 Sugar Dark chocolate and also u have heard about Bournville dark chocolate🤷
How much sugar is too much? 90% and over dark chocolate does not have what I consider too much sugar....
I bought ooty dark chocolate ...will it be a healthy option or not?
Please reply
As well as suggest some good brands which are chemical free can we buy easily online or offline ?
Namaste, we don't suggest any brands
Aunty ji, your info taken from Ayurvedic text, five thousand years old...
Love your stuff kick on love it
Very useful🙏🙏
Is amul dark chocolate is good
Will it reduce cholesterol in heart???
Hello mam, can you make video on how to get rid of fordyce spots on lips?

Namaste, no specific time
looks like a great recipe!
Hi Dr. Could U plz or any 1 else can advise how mny gm consider as moderate amt? Luv n respect frm Aamir Oman 🇴🇲
Namaste, 340 g for the recipe and 30-60 grams a day
I only ate raw cacao beans or sometimes raw powder.
Until I have been told since it is a stimulant, with caffeine and theobromine, its negative pranic as any other stimulants.
Any help? 🙏
Is it true...🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉party time😮❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where is Dark chokolate available in original form ?😊
Namaste, all chocolates are made of cocoa powder from cocoa bean
Dipping 100% cacao bar into peanut butter. Not bad!
Thats y I used to eat 85% to 95% dark chocolate and cocoa😩
Can you please suggest me with the good quality chocolate for the recipe
Namaste, we do not recommend any brand and hence we recommend to choose based on your preference
Hi Dr. Thanks for your video. I have gastritis. Can I eat dark chocolate?
Namaste, Dark chocolate can cause gas in two ways: It stimulates intestinal gas production by increasing the amount of bile in your intestines. It produces a substance called methylxanthine that stimulates the release of gastric acid from your stomach into your intestines, which also causes gas production.
Namaste. Thanks Doc. Your reply led me to do some research.
It shouldn't be taken in night
Superb ❤❤❤❤
Recently they found that dark chocolate has got cadmium in it. Is it true?
Namaste, Lead and cadmium are both natural elements in the Earth’s crust, but human activities like mining, manufacturing, transportation and agriculture have increased their levels in the air, soil and water. Because of their presence in the environment, these metals are ubiquitous in the food supply, Total avoidance of lead and cadmium is impossible
Namaste.
You are wise woman we
Very short of such & wise
Men even more so.
I would like to befriend
the wise as life could be
Much enriched.
Mam....can diabetic patients use honey
Namaste, only use honey in moderation. Be sure to count the carbohydrates in honey as part of your diabetes eating plan.
I can't stop myself eating dark chocolate
Thank you so much❤
Can make it hot choc drink or not ?
Nice! Very Nice!
How much dark cholate can be consumed in a day
Namaste, 30-60 grams of dark chocolate per day
Does cocoa contain caffeine?.
Namaste. Yes it does but the amount is generally lower than what you would find in coffee or tea.
Suggest other than home made choclates if any
Namaste, we do not recommend brands
can anyone please tell me the how many days in a week i should eat chocolate in moderate?
It's alright to eat 2-3 pieces of dark chocolate everyda
Dark Chocolate 🍫 Oh Yeah!
Any alternative for vannila extract ?
Namaste, Depending on the recipe, you can substitute with another other extract of your choice like maple syrup, jaggery syrup, date syrup, lemon extracts etc.
Thank you amma
If your putting the chocolate candy in the mix why not just eat the candy
Nice

Mam kya dark chocolate's sa face par pimple hota hai
Namaste, different people have different experinces
I tried the recepie but it didnt work, it doesnt melt, I felt sorry why people show edited things, show things are working but actually not, you are misleading people, and it's really bad
Namaste, it may have not worked for you, we suggest you visit a physician for better judgement of your issues
@theyogainstituteofficial you think what you think is the only reality, you better come out of your limited shell and don't feel like having license to offer verdict, you better go to some institute to little open your closed brain, science always open itself to find layers of truth,
Which brand of coco nibs?
Namaste, we do not recommend brands
Thank you mam
Written and told cacao nibs but shown choco chips
Good in pcos??
Namaste. Yes, dark chocolate in moderation can be beneficial for PCOD due to its antioxidant properties
