Small amounts of chocolate can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.A study evaluated chocolate consumption for a period of 10 years.
Those who ate the most amount of chocolate – about 7.5 grams a day – had lower blood pressure and 39% lower risk of having a heart attack or stroke, compared to those who ate the least amount – an average of 1.7 grams a day.
The study found 57% ate milk chocolates, 24% dark chocolates, and 2% white chocolate.
Small amounts of chocolate can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. A key element to remember is eating chocolate in moderation, due to the sugar.
