Dark chocolate reduces stress levels and improves heart health, according to renowned nutritionists Courtney D'Angelo and Trista Best.

In an interview with ETNT, experts said that dark chocolate is healthy due to the high content of cocoa, rich in antioxidants, including flavonoids. This component improves blood circulation in the heart, lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of blood clots.

Eating a moderate amount of chocolate every day can help reduce the risk of stroke, prevent heart disease, reduce stress and anxiety levels, and relieve depression, D’Angelo said.

However, despite the fact that chocolate contains a large amount of nutrients, including magnesium, which has a beneficial effect on brain function, experts recommend not to get carried away with them, otherwise it can negatively affect blood sugar levels and figure.

Chocolate abuse can prevent you from finding a healthier alternative. If you regularly eat foods with added sugar, you may lose your taste for natural sweets, including fruits, Best said.
