Chocolate – Friend or foe?

Well here is something different Fitness by phone!

As most of you love chocolate, but did you know a good chocolate is healthier for the heart has a number of other benefits? It has been noticed in 1600 that angina pectoris reduced and heart pain …

I do not mean the race of the chocolate factory or Coles woolies here.

Milk chocolate in particular is Full of sugar and which is often corn syrup rich in fructose, a known cause of health problems. And often, it is also “transformed the Netherlands. For black and chocolate rid of the acid / Alakal bitter taste is added.

In fact many “dark” chocolates are adding Dutchman Just as sugar to start …

The result? A sticky mass that clogs the arteries, because it is so rich in fat and sugar! But it is “real” chocolate available that can provide real benefits for your health …

In fact, the list of our cocoa beans lifting authorities Health continues to grow. Research indicates that the active ingredients can help the following conditions ”

– Hypertension – Race – clogged arteries – Heart Disease – Infectious tell – Dementia – prostate and lung cancer – blood clots – Liver problems – Inflammation – Allergy – Asthma

There is another benefit researchers have discovered.

As you know one of the biggest problems with diabetes type II is the way that reduces blood flow ends.

When I was in the living heart of the Gold Coast hospital for nine days in early 2006, I was surprised how the legs and feet, some of these guys were. (Most have been victims of were there with diabetes and heart problems as a result). A couple of them were seeking doctors said amputation above all their other problems. Yuk.

My ears pricked when I heard about a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that cocoa improves blood flow significantly in people with diabetes type II (Balzer et al. “Supported Benefits in the Public Through the study of vascular flavanol cocoa medicated diabetic patients: A double-blind, randomized and controlled. Journal of the American College of Cardiology. 2008. 51:2141-2149)

In this study, researchers divided the patients with diabetes two groups – one group has 1000 mg of cocoa per day (three doses per day) and the other 25 mg.

After one month, the largest groups of cocoa movement has Standard (from “grave concern”) while the group of low cocoa no abnormalities.

I found the way it works is as follows – cocoa enhances production of nitric oxide. The effect is to make blood vessels relax and open up to improve circulation. This effectively lowers blood pressure and helps provide oxygen and nutrients afficiently …

pure chocolate offer these advantages. When I say I want to say that pure cocoa beans – no fluff or fillers such as sugar or fat …

If can get, pure grain is best. The path is often provided as “advice”. What a pen? If you open a pod, is a kind of grain or “feather”. If you want to use chocolate as a health supplement (and who does not?) Then you must eat only cereal.

To my knowledge, there is only one way to obtain pure organic cocoa beans “feathers”.

Dagoba chocolate feathers (which can be obtained cheaply in Austrlaia here) are the only organic beans lightly toasted and coarsely ground cocoa. You sprinkle on cereals, etc., in salads (which had pine nuts in the salad right?), a snack, of the herd. They are a little bitter, but still good enough for my taste.

It is not difficult to eat one gram per day, which is all you need to get the benefits …

Speaking of which, here are some other reasons to eat the feathers of cocoa beans.

There is a class of chemicals called flavonoids. They are in fact a toxic antimicrobial, used by the plant to fight against the disease itself. They are not intended as an antioxidant. Latest research shows that are recognized by your body as a toxin, and seeking to remove them. (Lotito SB, Frei B. “Consumption of foods rich in flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of plasma increased in humans: event, consequence or epiphenomenon? 2006. Free Radical Biology and Medicine. 41 (12): 1727’46.)

The flavonoids are present in fruits and vegetables, coffee, tea, beer and red wine. But cocoa is the highest concentration. (Lee et al. “Cocoa has further phytochemicals and phenolic antioxidant capacity than tea and red wine. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. 2003. 51:7292-7295).

How is a poison helps you stay healthy, then? Flavonoids activate special enzymes and production of uric acid. Together, these compounds can change your answer to Allergens tend to disable certain cancer cells and cancer-causing agents, and flush your system of dangerous substances (in the same time, he is trying to get rid of flavonoids). That yes, if your liver is overloaded (the primary means your body gets rid of toxins) benefits will not be so pronounced. I have other articles dealing with this problem.

So there you have it … another treatment heart health of nature that reverses or prevents a number of conditions of life and death
