Favorite flavorful flavonoids.(Goodnews: essential natural health news)(Brief Article)
Love chocolate? New evidence published in the June 2004 issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition indicates that 46 grams of flavonoid-rich dark chocolate per day over a 2-week period significantly dilates the brachial artery--the principal artery in the arm--and improves blood flow.
Higher blood levels of a particular cocoa flavonoid called epicatechin probably trigger the release of active substances that vasodilate--or increase--blood flow in the artery. Expansion of the brachial pathway indicates dilation is occurring in the coronary arteries that supply the heart.
Previous studies had shown that chocolate improves blood vessel endothelium--the inner lining--after ...
