12:37:16 2023-07-05 1031

Chocolate, rich in cocoa, can increase longevity by warding off life-threatening risks such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, according to an expert.

The risk of health conditions such as diabetes to dementia is often the barrier to living a longer life, however, a 'delicious treat' can help boost your health as well as your taste buds.

"Flavanols, phytonutrients with heart-protective benefits, are found in many foods but are most abundant in raw cacao, which is used to make chocolate," said Rohini Bagikal, RD, a registered dietitian and lifestyle medicine specialist in phytosanitary medicine.

Cocoa is an excellent source of magnesium, iron, copper, manganese and antioxidants that reduce cell damage."

"The higher the percentage of cocoa, the more active compounds are present to provide health benefits to the consumer," he added.

This means that to reap the abundant benefits, you should get dark chocolate that has a high cocoa content, between 70 and 90%.

Moreover, enjoying this delicious snack can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Bagikal said: “Short-term studies also show that consuming flavanols can improve insulin sensitivity, which may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. There is a significant association between cocoa consumption and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, dementia and type 2 diabetes. and overall mortality. This is presumably due to the protective nature of the antioxidants found in cocoa, however, larger studies are definitely needed."
