Natural Pain and Inflammation Relief
Here is a bit of news that I did not know, Chocolate is good for your inflammation problems
Now my readers should all know by now that some inflammation is good – it's needed for wounds to heal. However, a whole bunch of bad diseases can result if your body's inflammation goes haywire. Allergies, asthma, arthritis, inflammatory bowel disorder and a whole host of other hypersensitivities are due to inflammation. The component in your body responsible for all that is called C-reactive protein. Eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate will significantly reduce the amount of that protein floating around, and so may provide improvements for any of those diseases that result from a faulty inflammation system.
So what other benefits can be derived from chocolate not that I need an excuse to eat it.
Chocolate is good for your cardiovascular endurance
For awhile, it has been known that chocolate milk is a better drink for exercise recovery than commercial sports drinks. However, that has less to do with anything from the chocolate itself, and more to do with chocolate milk having the perfect levels of protein, fats, sugars and electrolytes. Sports drinks only have sugar and electrolytes.
New research looked at chocolate itself, and found that small amounts of chocolate before exercising can reduce fatigue and allow you to go further. The mice in the study who were fed a purified form of the flavonol epicatechin were able to go about 50% further than the mice forced to exercise without it. Even cooler, biopsies of their leg muscles showed the chocolate-group had formed new capillaries and mitochondria as a result! The researchers suggest that a small 5 gram serving of dark chocolate, about half the size of a typical square, will help enhance your workout. This will only work with dark, since the processing for milk chocolate destroys the epicatechin.
As a former adventure racer I used to include dark chocolate in my ration packs, perhaps that's why I became a chocoholick.
Chocolate is good for your heart
Of all the claims chocolate can make for your health, the impact it can have in reducing your risk of cardiovascular disease is the most impressive and the most thoroughly studied. A recently published study reviewed several other studies and trials, including over 100,000 subjects, looking at many factors to see if chocolate had a protective effect on the heart. They found that across the board, no matter if the chocolate came from the oft-recommended dark chocolate, or if it came from cakes, cookies, drinks or even nutritional supplements, the groups that ate the highest amounts of chocolate had a 37% reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and a 29% reduced risk of stroke.
