Chocolate: friend of the blood vessels

Chocolate has long been considered a delicate treat that we give ourselves on occasion or use to lift our spirits. However, recent news has attracted the attention not only of gourmets, but also of all those who care about their health. Chocolate is officially recognized as a medicine for blood vessels, and this decision is confirmed by the European Commission, which even allowed advertising this treat as a therapeutic agent.

The Swiss manufacturer of elite chocolate, Barry Callebaut, has received a unique permission from the European Commission to advertise its chocolate as a remedy for vascular diseases. The company's experts provided the commission with data on the analysis of Acticoa cocoa powder, which is used in the production of dark chocolate as well. The research confirmed that flavonols found in cocoa and chocolate help to preserve the elasticity of blood vessels and maintain normal blood flow.

According to the data, consuming 200 milligrams of flavonols in chocolate daily helps maintain normal blood flow. This means that chocolate not only pleases your taste buds, but can also have a positive impact on your cardiovascular health.

This is historic, as this is the first time chocolate has been allowed to refer to its benefits to the body. You can now expect to see special indications on the packages of this treat that attest to its therapeutic properties. There are new prospects ahead for the use of chocolate not only as a dessert, but also as a natural way to maintain vascular health.

Chocolate is not only a treat for the taste buds, but also an innovative means of taking care of your health. Thanks to a discovery by the European Commission, it has gained a new dignity and status in the world of medicine.
