Dark Chocolate

It is not a new idea that consuming dark chocolate with a high cocoa content may be healthier than milk chocolate. Polyphenols, which are abundant in cocoa, have been demonstrated to help the bodies fight inflammation and may even boost mood.

Dr. Steven Gundry, a cardiologist who founded the International Heart & Lung Institute and the Center for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara, California, suggests that you should think about consuming chocolate if you want to increase the flow of your blood. Dark chocolate, according to him, is a great supplement to your diet when consumed in moderation. Nitric oxide, which is crucial for protecting your heart and veins, is produced by your body with the help of dark chocolate, according to research. Antioxidants found in cocoa may help control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood flow. Dr. Grundy suggests choosing dark chocolate with at least 72% cacao.
