black chocolate lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients
Consumption has shown that black chocolate reduces blood pressure and insulin resistance in healthy people, suggesting similar benefits in patients with hypertension, according to a recently published study entitled in the journal Hypertension.
In Brief
The researchers show that black chocolate reduced the number of blood pressure and LDL (“bad” cholesterol), improved flow-mediated dilation of the endothelium, or inner layer of blood vessels and the response of the body’s cells to the action of the hormone insulin in hypertensive patients.
The authors conclude their study by noting that their results suggest that maintaining a balanced intake of total calories, the falconoid in chocolate black (not white) can provide cardiovascular benefits by including them as part of a healthy diet in patients with hypertension.
Hypertensive patients may therefore “dulcificar” somehow their illness and take your pills with black chocolate antihypertensive.
