Chocolate VS Chicken

Few days ago I've posted this on my FB page timeline, "What is the difference between 500 calories of chocolates n 500 calories of chicken?"

The main reason I pointed out this question is,  many people still does not understand that when we spend a lot of time focusing on the almighty calorie, we spend less time looking at where those calories are coming from..

So here's 5 benefits (good or bad you decide) that you will nourish your body when you eat either chocolates or chicken..

CHOCOLATES...

  1. Has natural compounds that benefit the heart and the brain.
  2. Chocolate will make your teeth rot.
  3. According to a new study out of the University of Western Australia, women who eat chocolate every day end up with lower bone density in the hips, neck, tibia, and heel, making them more prone to fracture.
  4. Chocolate seems to affect the body's ability to hold onto calcium. 
  5. Chocolate contains oxalate, a poisonous acid, which can reduce the calcium absorption; it also contains sugar, which has been linked to calcium excretion.
CHICKEN...

  1. Chicken is a source of protein. Protein is required by the body for the growth, maintenance and repair of all cells. 
  2. Chicken also has selenium, an element that helps promote thyroid hormone metabolism which eventually controls the metabolic pathways. This also has anti-oxidant to defend the immunity of the body.
  3. Chicken lean meat also has the capability to stimulate growth and development of the body and it’s primarily in charge with the most important body parts to unleash its energy functions. 
  4. Eating chicken activates cells and molecules from the Vitamin B6 components of the chicken meat. This forms the cellular aspect of the body which repairs our blood vessels. 
  5. Phosphorus, a unique component of element helps the body to have strong bones and muscles that may eventually ensure the better function of our inner organs.
So what do you think is the difference when you eat 500kcal of chocolate or 500kcal of chicken? What is their side effect to our body?
