In published studies, dark chocolate, in addition to improving vascular function in terms of reducing oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, atherogenesis (formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the artery walls) and blood pressure
Reduction of atherosclerosis risk
It has shown a reduction in serum LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and an increase in HDL cholesterol. The flavonoids present in cocoa can also inhibit platelet aggregation by downregulating the cellular synthesis of eicosanoids
Reduction of inflammation
People who habitually eat dark chocolate in moderate quantities have significantly lower blood C-reactive protein (CRP) values (27%).
Improves insulin sensitivity
An inversely proportional relationship was observed between daily chocolate intake and indices of glucose homeostasis (insulin levels, HOMA-IR and fasting blood glucose) and liver enzymes in adults, suggesting that chocolate consumption could be an important factor in the stability of sugar metabolism and liver health.
Improves good mood
Tryptophan and magnesium also promote the production of serotonin, a chemical mediator that affects mood by performing an antidepressant and exciting function and of phenylethylamine, the same chemical that the brain produces when we fall in love.
Improves intestinal bacterial flora
Two recent studies published in Science have shown that eating dark chocolate modifies and strengthens the quality of the intestinal bacterial flora and improves intestinal health.
