Subject: Heart disease and diabetes risk may be reduced by eating chocolate every day: Study
Recent studies have been showing that men who eat a moderate amount of chocolate each week have less of a chance of developing heart disease. The flavonoids present in chocolate have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help keep the heart healthy. A study published in the journal Heart showed that men who eat chocolate on a regular basis had an 11 percent lower chance of suffering a heart attack and a 23 percent lower risk of stroke.
Key Takeaways:
- Heart disease and diabetes risk may be reduced by eating chocolate every day.
- Based on the analysis of data from 1,153 people, the researchers found that 100 grams of dark chocolate was enough to reduce insulin resistance and improve liver enzymes.
- Over 80 percent of the participants ate an average of 24.8 grams of chocolate a day.
