A Cup of Cocoa a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
There is more sweet news about chocolate. A cup of cocoa a day may help drive heart
disease away, researchers say.
Overweight adults who drank a specially processed cocoa beverage significantly improved their blood vessel function in just two hours.
Improved blood function, in turn, mitigates the risk of cardiovascular disease, says researcher Valentine Yanchou Njike, MD, of the Yale Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Conn.
Cocoa Improves Blood Flow
Results showed that the ability of arteries to relax and expand to accommodate increased blood flow to the heart increased by about 39 percent by two hours after people drank the sugar-free cocoa. When they drank cocoa with sugar it improved by about 23 percent. In contrast, it dropped 12 percent when they consumed the nonfat milk drink.
If this is the case so go on having some nice cup of Cocoa everyday ..Its surprising to see so many results out of eating cocoa.previously we have seen Chocolate May Protect Smokers' Hearts
