SuperFood: Dark Chocolate

 

It’s essentially cacao, which is rich in heart-friendly antioxidants and flavonols. So, opt for dark chocolate (containing at least 70 per cent cacao) and restrict yourself to small amounts of this superfood as most chocolates tend to be high in sugar and fat. Eating small servings of dark chocolate regularly can reduce the risk of heart failure and stroke, and can lower blood pressure. The flavonols in dark chocolate also boost blood flow to the brain, offering improved performance and alertness in the short term; and higher levels of cognition in the long term. While the theobromine in it not only has a feel-good effect, but can quieten coughs as well! Who would have guessed that just by eating a square of dark chocolate regularly would result in such dramatic results?
