Chocolate! Just the word probably makes you hungry! Most people love it. But if someone told you that
chocolate is actually good for you, would you be surprised? Dark chocolate, especially dark chocolate
with a high percentage of cacao (the seeds of a tree used to make chocolate), may actually make you
healthier. Recent studies suggest that eating dark chocolate may have the following health benefits:
1. Heart Health. 1-2 servings per week of dark chocolate decreases the chance of heart failure by 1/3.
It also lowers your blood pressure.
2. Increased blood flow. Dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao increases blood flow. Because
of the increased blood flow all over your body, eating chocolate may even help to make your eyesight
better.
3. Better performance on tests. Dark chocolate increases blood flow to your brain for up to three hours
after you eat it. Some studies have shown that people score higher on tests after eating dark
chocolate. A scientific study published in 2014 found that it improves memory, especially in people
over 60.
4. Lowered cholesterol. Cocoa decreases “bad” cholesterol and raises “good” cholesterol. Remember,
choose dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao.
5. Mood. Cacao causes the brain to release chemicals that make us feel happy and calm.
6. Sun Protection. Eating dark chocolate protects your skin from sunburn. You can stay out at the beach
longer if you eat chocolate!
