Dark Chocolate, a Powerful Source of Antioxidants may Lower the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. 
Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet.
Studies show that dark chocolate (not the sugary crap) can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease.
If you buy quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, then it is actually quite nutritious.
It contains a decent amount of soluble fiber and is loaded with minerals.
100 gram bar of dark chocolate with 70-85% cocoa contains:

  • 11 grams of fiber.
  • 67% of the RDA for Iron.
  • 58% of the RDA for Magnesium.
  • 89% of the RDA for Copper.
  • 98% of the RDA for Manganese.
  • It also has plenty of potassium, phosphorus, zinc and selenium.


Dark Chocolate May Improve Blood Flow and Lower Blood Pressure.
Dark Chocolate Raises HDL and Protects LDL Against Oxidation.
The compounds in dark chocolate appear to be highly protective against the oxidation of LDL.
In the long term, this should cause much less cholesterol to lodge in the arteries and we should see a lower risk of heart disease over the long term.
It turns out that we have several long-term observational studies that show a fairly drastic improvement.
However, I find it plausible that regular consumption of dark chocolate can in fact reduce the risk of heart disease.
