Dark chocolate<\/a> tastes amazing, and it’s also surprisingly healthy for you. The cacao in dark chocolate comes packed with potent inflammation-fighting polyphenol antioxidants. <\/p>\n\n\n\nEating dark chocolate a few times a week boosts the levels of polyphenols, flavonols, and catechins in your bloodstream. As a result, your body gets all the help it needs with removing free radicals from your bloodstream. We bet you never thought eating dark chocolate could be part of your beauty routine, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flavanols in dark chocolate are good for heart health, providing an anti-inflammatory effect to the endothelial lining in your heart and arteries. A study on the results of eating dark chocolate in smokers shows that the test group experienced a significant improvement in endothelial function within 120-minutes of consuming the dark chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When selecting your dark chocolate, we recommend going with 80% or 90% cacao chocolate for the highest concentration of antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
