How to live longer: The life-prolonging snack that lowers blood pressure and slows ageing
Some research states that a sweet treat could add up to two years to one’s life when consumed regularly. Dark chocolate contains levels of antioxidants high enough to significantly improve blood pressure and ward off disease. Findings revealed that those who ate three bars of chocolate per month had a 36 percent lower risk of premature death. The health benefits of dark chocolate have been attributed to its inimitable flavonoid content, which confers significant antioxidant benefits.
