Health Benefits of Chocolate
Chocolate is considered an indulgent treatment because it is
primarily associated with weight gain and acne. Americans spend $10 billion a
year to buy chocolate. As countless studies show that dark chocolate has many
health benefits, it is not all bad news. Here are 20 things you may not know
and which can help you indulge in this with less guilt. In a moderate process -
I mean, guilty!
1.It helps your heart stay healthy
Numerous studies have shown that flavonoids in chocolate can
help keep your veins and arteries soft. More than 7 studies tracked 114,000
participants and they received several dark chocolates each week. The results
showed that their risk of heart disease was reduced by about 37%, and when
their chocolate consumption was higher, the chance of suffering a stroke was
reduced by 29%.
2.As you age, this may help improve your memory
Studies have shown that when older people get specifically
prepared high-flavanol cocoa extracts, their cognitive function is greatly
improved. The only problem is that when it comes to eating chocolate, the
percentage of cocoa flavanols is greatly reduced due to the processing and
addition of eggs, sugar and milk.
3.It helps to avoid sunburn
A study conducted in London found that women given
high-flavanol-containing chocolates were able to withstand twice the skin's UV
exposure without burning, compared with women with low-dose.
4.This may make you better in math
I was never good at math at school. Maybe I should eat more
dark chocolate! This is the astonishing conclusion I got after I finished the
study of Professor David Kennedy, the brain, performance and nutrition director
of the University of Northumberland Research Centre in England. Participants
gave 500 mg of flavanol in a hot cocoa drink. Therefore, they benefit from
increased brain flow and better respond to difficult mathematical equations.
5.It may make you feel better
I hope that my uncle will give his aunt some chocolates.
When he tells her not to cry any more and "gets up," he apparently
did not read the work of Swinburne University in Australia. These guys once
again targeted cocoa polyphenols, and they found it had a beneficial effect on
the mood of calm and happy participants.
