Cocoa Extract
Due to its high flavonoid content, cocoa too has developed a reputation as an anti-inflammatory hero that keeps your arteries clear and heart healthy (a reputation that is also backed up by a significant amount of science).
A review published in 2016 showed that cocoa can improve insulin resistance, balance blood sugar, lower bodily inflammation, lower elevated triglyceride levels and increase good cholesterol (HDL). Since all of these are direct indicators of your risk for heart disease, researchers believe regular cocoa consumption is a very heart-healthy practice.
And countless other reviews and studies over the years have confirmed the same thing. A 2015 study found, for example, that eating up to 3.5 ounces of chocolate a day lowers your risk for heart disease.
