Evidence shows that people who eat black chocolate have healthier cardiovascular systems, better blood circulation and blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.
Cocoa prevents heart disease
The first proof that cocoa is a healthy food for the heart, comes from the healthy elderly of kuna Indians in Panama. They drank large quantities of unprocessed cocoa and did not suffer from heart disease. When the Kune Indians moved to Western civilization and no longer consumed traditional cocoa, they suffered from high blood pressure, as did the rest of the people.
Gives power to the heart and red blood beads
Cocoa seeds are rich in antioxidants. These affect red blood cells and blood vessels for good. The benefits are only worth the black chocolate. Its less concentrated forms (white chocolate or milk chocolate), except they have many calories do not bring any good to the heart.
Promotes blood circulation
A study conducted in Rome showed that eating black chocolate helps people with periferal arterial disease walk longer and longer. The disease lowers blood circulation to the limbs. 85% black chocolate has polyphenols, which help circulate.
Calms blood pressure
Black chocolate significantly lowers high blood pressure. Chocolate consumption lowers the risk of stroke.
Fights stress and eases the heart
One of the most harmful, but often bypassed, heart-damaging factors is stress. Eating a few squares of black chocolate helps you cope with stress better.
