There have also been studies that have suggest there are additional benefits of dark chocolate other than those mentioned above. It may also:

  • Slow decline in memory: This is because it stimulates constant blood flow to certain areas of the brain.
  • Could inhibit obesity and diabetes: Flavanols found in chocolate can reduce insulin and have shown to regulate glucose.
  • Linked to lower risk of stroke and heart disease: It has been found that eating 100g of chocolate a day serves as a protectant against cardiovascular disease because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties.
  • May protect skin against the sun: Cocoa contains phenols and catechins, which are antioxidants that protect the skin from sunburns and even skin cancer. These can be found in green tea and tomatoes as well.
