you take the really dark chocolate like
73% cacao and you make it into a high
flavanol hot chocolate drink and you
have it twice a day this was a clinical
study they found in people who wound up
actually drinking the hot chocolate
twice a day over the course of a month
they doubled the number of stem cells
compared to the people who didn't drink
hot CH so the question is is that
important when they measured their blood
flow they found that the blood flow was
much vastly improved wow surely dark
chocolate can't be good for you well it
actually is time School the study he's
referring to is this randomized control
trial in 2010 where they took 16
patients with coronary artery disease
and provided them with dark chocolate
drinks with either a high or low
flavonol content the high flavonol
drinks led to a reduction in blood
pressure and the number of circulating
angiogenic cells or cac's increase by
twofold and these cells are important
for vascular repair and the maintenance
of endothelial function you see dark
chocolate is packed with nutrients that
positively impact your health all thanks
to the seed of the cacao tree not only
is it rich in fiber iron magnesium and
copper but dark chocolate is rich in
specific antioxidants called polyphenols
and flavonols and it even has more
antioxidant activity than blueberries
which is pretty crazy and this is why in
meta analysis of 12 control studies on
patients with type 2 diabetes they saw
that cacao products led to significant
improvements in LDL cholesterol
triglyceride blood glucose and C
reactive protein so the Dark of the
chocolate the sweet to the benefits CL
has missed
