An international team of scientists from Denmark, the United States and Canada has found that moderate chocolate consumption reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular disease such as arrhythmia (fast heartbeat).
The team of researchers analyzed the results of a study, attended by 55,000 Danes. They have answered some questions about how often and how much chocolate they include in their diet. Then the researchers compared the data with the medical history of the participants in the experiment.
It has been shown that moderate consumption of milk chocolate and black chocolate significantly reduces the risk of arrhythmia. This disease affects millions of people around the world. Among women who regularly consume 30 grams of chocolate once a week, the risk of this disease declined by 21%. In men, this percentage is even higher - 23%.
dark chocolate = love :-)
:D Same here! Not much but that kind of chocolate I love too!
chokladen kärlek
Love chocolate? Is that correct?
Just had a dairy milk :p
Thanks for the info. Now I can use another reason to eat chocolates :p
I don't like sweet things, but now I will have a good reason to eat some chocolate 2-3 times per week! Cheers man!
I like chocolate. Now I like it even more :p
That doesn't mean you have to eat more buddy!
Lol..I guess so.
Excess of everything is bad. Even the good stuff :p
That's true! Totally agree, man!
:)
I eat chocolate every single day. I can't imagine my life without it. :)
Mostly I eat dark chocolate or chocolate with nuts.
I do not think it is insignificant, but it will not change much. One who loves chocolate will eat it regardless of whether it has a "healing" feature. It's hard to give it up.
To be honest I like more dark chocolate than other kinds of chocolate because dark chocolate is not sweet! Thanks for sharing this @ronhilda! Follow you from now!
We have similar taste!
Great, followed you too :)
Cheers @ronhilda!
I love chocolate. Especially raw vegan chocolate. My favorite is handmade in small batches in NYC by a company called Gnosis Chocolate.
Are you a raw vegan person? I never heard about that chocolate but I can imagine that's a great chocolate! Thank you @mtgmisfit!
I used to be. Raw chocolate is definitely worth the added expense. It's basically all of the good stuff from chocolate without all of the bad stuff from processed chocolate. I also like to eat raw cacao nibs straight out of the jar.
That's so cool! It needs a lot of ambition to be a raw vegan! I admire people like you. For how long you have been a raw vegan?
Thanks for the info @mtgmisfit!
I haven't been doing it for the last several years, but I did it for almost a year. Would do it again if I had someone to help with all of the dishes. It's pretty labor intensive.
You have done it for a long time anyway! I'm sure you will find that person to help you with all of the dishes! Nice to meet you @mtgmisfit!
More reasons to eat chocolate and get fat! :D :D haha
:d haha! Depending how much chocolate you eat and what kind of metabolism you have! I can't eat a lot and I'm sure I'm not going to get fat!
It is the cacao bean that is the good part, the sugars and other ingredients I doubt do you much good at all. Generally the higher the content of the cacao the better it is and it is rich in anti oxidants, and other health properties.
Thanks a lot for the info @simonleach! This is why Steemit is amazing! Follow you for sure!
Cheers.
Who doesn't like chocolate??
That's a great question! I think there are people who don't like chocolate or they can't eat it!
I love chocolate.
That means you like all kinds of chocolate! :D Cheers!
Please bring them on 😁 😁 😁
:))) lol!
Hi @the-future, I see chocolate as a veggie, as it comes from a bean on a tree!! You can never have enough veggies, forget the moderate, the more the better!!
Nice post
Well, I eat a lot of veggies and less chocolate! I think I must start eating a little more chocolate! Thank you very much @rynow!
Thanks for replying, great post
I love chocolate! I did a college honors research paper on the health benefits, and it's really interesting. :)
