Five Healthy Reasons to Eat Chocolate (In Case You Need One)
Do you really need a healthy reason to eat chocolate? Just in case you do, here are five reasons to enjoy your favorite chocolate treats:
1. Chocolate has been shown to benefit the cardiovascular system by lowering blood pressure in a study by Yale University professor Dr. David Katz. Research done by Mary Engler, PhD, RN, of the University of California, confirms that eating a small piece of dark, healthy chocolate every day will not only lower blood pressure, but can also prevent the build-up of LDL cholesterol.
In addition, USA Today reported that further analysis of prior studies supported the findings that eating approximately one bar of chocolate each week can help cut the risk of stroke and lower the risk of death after a stroke.
2. Chocolate has also been shown to increase blood flow in addition to lowering blood pressure. Eating chocolate appears to trigger nitric oxide production in the body, which causes blood vessels to relax and widen. “Flavonoids [in chocolate] … dilate the arteries of the body,” Dr. Mehmet Oz said in an interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006. “We actually have data they may be beneficial to the heart.”
3. Eating chocolate helps blood to flow more smoothly by discouraging blood platelets from sticking to one another. This lessens the chance that blood clots will form, and helps reduce the formation of plaque in the arteries. One study even concluded that consuming cocoa daily was almost as effective as taking a baby aspirin, which is often recommended for heart health.
4. Pure cocoa is also nutrient-rich, with respectable amounts of B vitamins, iron, potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, zinc, copper, and selenium.
5. A study by Osaka University in Japan showed that cacao contains antibacterial agents that can actually help prevent tooth decay. (Of course, you should still be sure to brush your teeth after eating chocolate.)
Now you can enjoy the best chocolate ever without guilt!
