5 health benefits of Chocolate
1.It may help lower cholesterol levels
The Journal of Nutrition publishes an interesting article
about the results of the study to determine if dark chocolate has any effect on
LDL cholesterol levels. They found that when subjects were given phytosterols
and flavanols on dark chocolate bars, their cholesterol levels were lower.
2. It can help people with Alzheimer's disease
We know that when Alzheimer's disease hits, the brain's
nerve pathways are damaged, resulting in some serious loss of mental function.
Reading a cocoa extract called lavado can really reduce the damage to these
important pathways is fascinating.
3.It can help you to exercise
The other flavanol in chocolate is epicatechin. Mice were
given this substance and they were more robust and stronger than mice in water
only. Researchers say that in order to get the best out of your workouts, you
have to limit yourself to only about half the chocolate a day! If you have too
much, it may eliminate beneficial effects.
4. It is very nutritious
Do you know? If you choose high cocoa chocolate (75% to
85%), will you get a very nutritious snack? Take a typical 100g chocolate bar.
Almost all RDAs are used for copper and manganese. It contains more than half
of magnesium RDA and about two-thirds (67%) of RDA irons. It also has about 10%
fiber. There are plenty of zinc, selenium and potassium.
5.It can help lower blood pressure
You may not know, but the proper amount of nitric oxide in
your body can help your arteries relax. This in turn helps to relieve their
stress and the result is a lower blood pressure count. Dark chocolate flavanols
help to produce another important benefit of this important nitric oxide.
