Dark Chocolate Reduces Blood Pressure

Dark Chocolate Reduces Blood Pressure

Combined results from 15 studies indicate eating about 30 calories’ worth of dark chocolate per day can significantly reduce blood pressure:

“The pressure reduction seen in the combined results for people with hypertension … may be clinically relevant — it is comparable to the known effects of 30 daily minutes of physical activity … and could theoretically reduce the risk of a cardiovascular event by about 20% over five years.”

Eating dark chocolate daily gives me the same cardiovascular benefit as 30 minutes a day on the treadmill?
