According to recent research, dark chocolate and red wine may not only provide pleasure but also benefit health. As reported by Peopletalk, they can help protect against heart disease and cancer, as well as promote longer life.
These benefits are linked to flavonoids — compounds found in plant-based foods that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Antioxidants protect the body from harmful external factors such as tobacco smoke and ultraviolet radiation. In addition, the anti-inflammatory effect reduces inflammation associated with obesity, heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic conditions.
Experts emphasize that obtaining flavonoids from a variety of food sources is more effective than consuming them in large quantities from a single source. Research shows that such a diet can reduce the risk of death by 14 percent.
Dark chocolate and red wine are just two examples of flavonoid-rich foods. It is also recommended to consume tea, apples, berries, oranges, and grapes.
