CHOCOLATES CAN CURE ANYTHING

When i was visited my twitter account i came across with sonam kapoor's tweet "CHOCOLATES CAN CURE ANYTHING".so i did a small search and found that it is true.
According to a 2004 study in the journal FASEB (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology) there is an ingredient found in dark chocolate called theobromine that is as or even more effective than cough syrup containing codeine in relieving persistent coughing.
I came to know that 10 illnesses can be cured or prevented with chocolate.

  • High Blood Pressure
    Chocolate and cocoa contain flavanols, which have both antioxidant qualities and heart-healthy qualities. One of the vascular benefits of eating flavanols is lowering blood pressure.
  • High Cholesterol
    When consuming chocolate, you’re ingesting flavanoids which have major antioxidant power known to lower the bad kind of cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol. Oxidized LDL-cholesterol damages the arteries and can increase your chances of heart disease or heart attack.
  • Liver Disease
    Liver disease patients can snack on chocolate because its antioxidant-rich compounds have been found to reduce high blood pressure in the liver and reduce damage to liver blood vessels.
  • Diabetes
    Eating dark chocolate in moderation has been found to improve processing of blood sugar, which may reduce the risk of diabetes.
  • Stress
    Chocolate has mood enhancing qualities, as well as stress-busting benefits. Experts have found that chocolate may the ticket to reducing levels of unwanted stress hormones, resulting in happier, healthier people.
  • Coughs
    Got a persistent cough? Experts have found that theobromine, a compound found in cocoa, can reduce a cough, by affecting the sensory nerve endings of the vagus nerve that run through the airways in the lungs.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
    Instead of drinking a soda or coffee when you feel fatigued, eat a square of chocolate to boost your energy level. In small doses, the caffeine in chocolate will give you a healthy jolt of energy to prevent chronic fatigue.
  • Blood Clots
    Those who eat chocolate have been found to have slower clumping of blood platelets, which aids in the prevention of blood clots that can cause a heart attack.
  • Stroke
    The flavanol compound found in chocolate, called epicatechin, has been found to guard against the damage of a stroke.
  • Cancer
    While chocolate isn’t going to cure cancer, it may have preventative benefits like reducing cell damage that can cause tumor growth.

So Eat Chocolates.I love them don't you?
