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.
