Is chocolate good for your health? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Loma Linda University has just made many new friends as they published research that dark chocolate actually reduces stress and improves cognition, immunity, and mood. They key is to eat chocolate that has at least 70% cacao (pronounced ca-cow). Cacao regulates cellular immune response, neural signaling, and sensory perception. For many years, doctors have known that dark chocolate improves mood and the flavonoids in dark chocolate seem to be good for overall health, but this is the first in a scientific study that outlines exactly why it’s good and how it works within your system. Keep in mind that milk chocolate will not have the same affect, it has to be dark, very dark chocolate, look for 70% or greater on the label.
