Can dark chocolate make you healthier?

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!
7. Cough medicine. Have you tried chocolate? Before you go to the drugstore and buy expensive medicine, you
may want to try something that tastes better. Believe it or not, a chemical called theobromine, which is found in
chocolate, can help coughs.
8. Immunity. Cacao contains a lot of antioxidants, which are good for your immune system. So dark chocolate may
help keep you healthy!

Are you convinced yet? Go have a bite of dark chocolate!
