World Chocolate Day is celebrated all over the world today, the favorite dessert that improves people’s mood. This mixture of cocoa and sugar, with or without additives, stimulates the secretion of serotonin (the hormone of happiness), and can also be very beneficial for health.
Scientists have been researching the impact of this food on human health for a long time.
One of them, conducted in the United States, shows that chocolate helps maintain healthy heart vessels. In the past, clinical research has found that chocolate is beneficial for both blood pressure and blood vessels.
Experts believe that consuming chocolate at least once a week reduces the risk of coronary artery disease by eight percent compared to those who consume this dessert at longer intervals.
Chocolate contains nutrients such as flavanoids, methylxanthines, polyphenols and stearic acid, which can reduce inflammation and raise good cholesterol.
