CHOCOLATE, PARTICULARLY DARK CHOCOLATE THAT CONTAINS A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF COCOA SOLIDS, CAN OFFER SEVERAL HEALTH BENEFITS WHEN CONSUMED IN MODERATION AS PART OF A BALANCED DIET. THE FLAVONOIDS FOUND IN COCOA CAN HELP IMPROVE BLOOD FLOW AND REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE BY LOWERING BLOOD PRESSURE, REDUCING INFLAMMATION, AND IMPROVING CHOLESTEROL LEVELS. SOME STUDIES SUGGEST THAT CONSUMING CHOCOLATE MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF STROKE BY IMPROVING BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN AND REDUCING INFLAMMATION. THE FLAVONOIDS IN CHOCOLATE MAY ALSO HELP IMPROVE COGNITIVE FUNCTION BY INCREASING BLOOD FLOW TO THE BRAIN AND PROMOTING THE GROWTH OF NEW BRAIN CELLS. SOME STUDIES HAVE LINKED REGULAR CONSUMPTION OF DARK CHOCOLATE WITH A REDUCED RISK OF DEVELOPING TYPE 2 DIABETES, POSSIBLY DUE TO ITS ANTIOXIDANT AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES. CHOCOLATE CONTAINS SEVERAL COMPOUNDS THAT CAN BOOST MOOD AND REDUCE ANXIETY, INCLUDING SEROTONIN, ENDORPHINS, AND PHENYLETHYLAMINE.
