Study volunteers ate just over six grams of dark chocolate daily for almost five months one square from a German chocolate bar called Ritter Sport, equal to about 1 1/2 Hershey's Kisses. People who ate that amount ended up with lower blood pressure readings than those who ate white chocolate. ------------- Hollie

I agree with you. as a matter of fact, dark chocolate not only lowers blood pressure but it has many health benefits. Some of the benefits are written below: What are some of the health benefits? * reduces risk of certain cancers such as ovarian cancer * lowers blood pressure * improves insulin resistance * reduces risk of stroke and heart attack * fights atherosclerosis * reduces risk of chronic respiratory problems * protects from UV light that may reduce the risk of skin cancer * decreases inflammation and pain associated with arthritis * the smell of chocolate may increase theta brain waves which results in relaxation Before you stock up on chocolate bars there are some important facts to keep in mind: * dark chocolate has the beneficial flavonoids; stay away from white and milk chocolate * European chocolate is highest in flavonoids * monitor the fat and calories you consume with chocolate; you only need a very small amount to benefit * do not rely on dark chocolate for the bulk of your antioxidants; let it replace your unhealthy sweets The role of flavonoid rich foods in preventing disease and maintaining health and wellness will continue to be heavily researched by scientists. Try to stay informed of these and other developments in contemporary health and wellness. Chocolate Shop Online | Date Filipina Online
