According to a leading nutritionist, a sweet treat can help you to live to 100 years old.

A leading nutritionist has revealed a sweet treat that could help you to live up to 100.

What if you can achieve a happy, full life by eating one the world’s favorite sweet treats? 

It’s good news that endocrinologist Florence Comite said eating dark chocolate can help you live a longer life. 

Comite studies foods that can help you reach 100. The snack is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids. 

She enjoys chocolate every day, and numerous studies have shown a direct connection between cacao consumption and reduced risk of neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. 

Dark chocolate may help to improve blood pressure. It can also increase blood circulation and blood vessel elasticity. 

It can also reduce LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol and increase HDL, or ‘good’ cholesterol. 

To achieve this desired outcome, chocolate must contain a high percentage of cacao, between 70-90%. 

This is because it contains very little sugar or milk. 

Pure cacao also has a positive effect on the brain. The increased blood circulation can help improve memory and focus. 

It’s a powerful tool for battling degenerative brain disorders associated with aging. 

Dark chocolate is also known to improve mood, as it increases the production of serotonin and endorphins. 

Last but not least, this sweet treat contains a lot of fibre which is good for digestion, can help to boost magnesium and iron stores, and also supports the nervous systems.
