The 3 Main Health Benefits Of Chocolate
Do you
believe that one day you will read that chocolate is not only delicious, but
also good for your health? That is today. But I apologize for destroying these
sensational messages, but I need to point out that not all chocolates are
healthy. Healthy chocolate is rarely seen on the shelves of local supermarkets.
You guessed it; dark chocolate. (I know that the title was given at the
beginning).
Healthy dark
chocolate, containing at least 70% cocoa (cocoa) or more, is listed in top
foods (aka superfoods) because it contains antioxidants and you can add a
healthy diet. This delicious food has some very strong health benefits when
consumed in moderation, as listed below.
1.Good for the
heart - Improves blood flow while reducing the risk of blood clots. By
increasing blood flow, the heart and brain always have enough blood to flow to
them to keep them working. Flavonoids in dark chocolate protect cells from free
radicals, which are unstable molecules that destroy cells and organs.
Flavonoids also lower blood pressure and reduce LDL cholesterol (bad
cholesterol) by up to 10%.
2.Good for
your brain - Eating dark chocolate as described above not only increases blood
flow to the heart, it also increases blood flow to the brain, increasing
alertness and performance for up to three hours. This mouth-watering dessert
also causes the release of a neurotransmitter (endorphin) that “talks” to the
brain, providing positive information and new memories. Just a few bites of
dark chocolate can release chemical dopamine, which helps you remember people
and events.
3.Helps
control blood sugar - By keeping your blood vessels healthy, dark chocolate
helps prevent type 2 diabetes. Flavonoids increase nitric oxide production and
help reduce insulin resistance by helping your cells function properly and
regaining the ability to effectively use insulin in your body. This unique
chocolate also has a low glycemic index that prevents a huge surge in blood
sugar levels, which can be very dangerous.
