It is widely known cocoa contains high levels of chemicals known as phenolics, which may help to lower the risk of the heart disease. the bitter astringent taste of unsaturated cocoa indicates presence of the phonolics found in them. the phenolic compounds in chocolate include falconoid, which are well known anti-oxidants have been chemically proven to reduce oxidation, scientific evidence has long indicated that damage done in the body by free oxygen radical (in oxidation) is linked to heart disease, certain cancers, and physical degeneration maladies associated with the aging process, anti-oxidants in blood stream can help to eliminate free oxygen radicals, potential reducing the risk of developing heart disease, certain cancers, and cerebrovascular disease. How might the flanoids in chocolate ( or from other source) prevents heart disease? There is evidence that flanoids prevent fat like substances in the blood stream from oxidizing and clogging the arteries.
Atiries are the vessels that carry blood pumped by the heart to every part of the body. The arteries that carry blood to the wall of the heart itself are the most susceptible to the formation of fatty deposits in the wall of the arteries are known a arteriosclerosis-present to some degree in the middle-aged and elderly is caused by oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) one of the cholesterol types. at first the atheroma causes subtle damage to the formation of advanced plague. the build up of plague can lead to the clogging of the arteries, a condition that is a major cause of heart attack.
