The Effect of Dark Chocolate towards Blood Pressure by Sylviana
The popularity of chocolate as healthy diets were responded with studies suggesting that the consumption of dark chocolate provides a cardiovascular benefit for patients with essential hypertension
Polyphenols and Flavanols (especially), are rich component found in dark chocolate that are believed to have a beneficial effect on blood pressure (BP). On the other hand, white chocolate at lower level polyphenols might not have effect on BP. Recent studies were focused to find its salutary effect on BP during a longer treatment period, when its healthy effects might be negated by its high calorie content. Polyphenols could improve endothelial function and reduce indicated by the chronic increase in nitric oxide in the vascular endothelium. Besides, Flavanols were responsible for the observed effects on S-nitrosoglutathione and BP.
From a study, a healthy diet of Polyphenols-rich dark chocolate was believed to cause progressive reductions of systolic and diastolic BP (daytime and nighttime) of participants with pre-hypertension without inducing weight gain or other adverse effects.
However, the studies done did not explain the details of bio-chemical process of dark chocolate affecting blood pressure. Although the magnitude of the blood pressure reduction was small, the effects were clinically noteworthy. Consumption of dark chocolate daily in moderate amount has no harmful effect despite of its high calories content.
