They say that many processed cocoa into chocolate bars can make healthy heart and strong bones. Besides, chocolate is also widely used as ingredients for body care in order to smooth the skin, strengthen nails and soften hair. Not a few women believe that these foods could be a practical solution to relieve stress.
Research shows, cacao plant contains a substance called flavanols epicathechins, which serves to encourage the walls of arteries to relax. This effect is good for blood vessel function in the body.
Research on this has been done by Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard University. He compares the consumption of chocolate bars, milk and dark chocolate. People who take the second option showed high levels of nitric oxide in the blood.
"Nitric acid is responsible for making blood vessels relax and open so that blood flow was smooth and the pressure decreases," said Riani Susanto, ND, CT, an expert in naturopathy and certified practitioner of the healing reconnective Clinic Harmony Zone.
Although this research will still continue to be done, experts say, it never hurts when hypertensive patients taking part in the form of cocoa powder or dark chocolate, in addition to taking blood pressure-lowering drugs. The recommended dose is 450 mg of flavanols, which is equivalent to two cups of warm cocoa chocolate milk per day.
