6- Dark chocolate


Diet


Dark chocolate because of its excellent benefits in catalyzing the health 

of the heart, as it contains flavonols that prevent blood clotting, which reduces 

the chances of strokes and heart attacks, and the epicachines present in black 

chocolate are able to reduce blood pressure and improve health Vascular by 

increasing levels of nitric oxide, and some other important components 

of the cardiac system.


Dark chocolate benefits for heart health

Eating chocolate milk or dark chocolate can reduce the risk of heart disease

and strokes, according to a recent study.

British researchers have indicated that eating 3.5 ounces of chocolate per day

for middle-aged or older people has benefited heart health.

The researchers also noted that most of the people included in the study

consumed chocolate milk, which is considered an unhealthy habit compared

to dark, as it contains more sugar and fat.

The assistant author of the research, Dr. Veto Mint, head of medicine for older

people at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, commented: “People who

love eating chocolate should not be concerned about the health of their

cardiovascular system, as we have not found any damage to chocolate on them.

If they want to enjoy chocolate now or at any time the key is moderation.

Although the study revealed that there is no harm to the health of the heart from

eating chocolate, but it did not prove the principle of "cause and effect" in the

positive effects on heart health.
