Anti-disease efficacy 1: preventing colds
The sweet smell of chocolate can reduce the chance of catching a cold. The theobromine contained in chocolate is beneficial to the health of nervous system, and its cough relieving effect is better than that of ordinary cold medicine. Many people don't know much about it. In fact, it is also a kind of food that can prevent diseases, so everyone can eat it with confidence.
Anti-disease effect 2: lowering blood pressure
Studies have pointed out that eating dark chocolate with no more than 30 calories a day has a certain control effect on human blood pressure, but we must pay attention to not eating too much. It should be noted that only dark chocolate can lower blood pressure. Generally, the white chocolate we eat has no such effect and efficacy.
Anti-disease effect 3: stabilize blood sugar
It is reported that healthy people eat dark chocolate for 15 days, and their sensitivity to insulin is enhanced. Doctors estimate that dark chocolate may be helpful to diabetics. Moreover, some studies have also found that some substances in dark chocolate have the function of stabilizing blood sugar, so they can be eaten properly and are helpful to health.
Disease-resistant effect 4: Relieve diarrhea
The cocoa content of dark chocolate varies from 50% to 90%. Cocoa is rich in polyphenols called flavonoids, which can inhibit the absorption of protein, chloride ions and water in the intestine. In this way, it can effectively reduce water loss, and it can also prevent dehydration caused by diarrhea. Oh, you might as well try it.
From the above, we can see that chocolate has many functions, not only to prevent colds, but also to give birth to some common cold medicines, and also to lower blood pressure and stabilize blood sugar. Not only these, but also to relieve diarrhea. Therefore, we must not underestimate chocolate, and don't think that it is just a snack. In fact, small things are of great value. Do you understand?
