Surgeon Ines Moreno advised people diagnosed with heart diseases to include dark chocolate in their diet and named three compelling reasons to do so. This was reported by the publication 20minutos.

Firstly, according to Moreno, dark chocolate contains flavonoids that increase the production of nitric oxide, which relaxes and dilates arteries. Secondly, this sweet treat enhances the elasticity of blood vessels.

Furthermore, the specialist claims that dark chocolate lowers blood pressure. All of this leads to better blood circulation in the body. As a result, the risk of heart problems, including heart attacks, decreases, concluded Moreno.
