First of all, should we stop eating chocolate at Easter?

“You don’t have to stop eating chocolate! Pay attention to the amount you’re consuming. Instead of eating a chocolate egg in one day, crack it and eat a small piece for several days. Balance is key,” reiterated the nutritionist Jessica Rodríguez.
