Eating every month three chocolate bars can drastically reduce your risk of experience of heart failure, scientists said.

a recent study states that moderation, not deprivation, is key in preventing heart issues later on in life.
A team of researchers assessed more than half a million adults in order to determine how consumption of chocolate impacts heart health. They came to the conclusion that eating up to three chocolate bars a month can reduce risk of heart failure by 23 per cent in comparison to those who don’t eat any chocolate at all.
However, eating too much chocolate can lead to a 17 per cent increased risk of heart failure, which is why it’s important not to go overboard.

“I believe that chocolate is an important dietary source of flavonoids which are associated with reducing inflammation and increasing good cholesterol,”
Consuming flavonoids can increase the levels of nitric oxide found in the body, which in turn increases blood flow and improves circulation. “However, chocolate may have high levels of saturated fats,” I would say moderate dark chocolate consumption is good for health.”
Earlier this year, a study carried out in California concluded that eating dark chocolate can have a positive effect on your mental health by relieving stress and boosting memory function.
I will conclude than good quality dark chocolate is good for your health if eaten with moderation. Do not mistaken candy bar and chocolate, they contain a high level of fat and sugar.
