  • Dark Chocolate: A Delicious Path to Better Health
    May 14 2025

    Send us a text

    In this podcast episode, Dr. Rodney and Karen discuss the impressive health benefits of dark chocolate.

    Dark chocolate, high in flavonoids, offers anti-aging properties, supports cardiovascular health, and improves the lipid profile when consumed regularly. It also aids in blood glucose management, enhances gut health through prebiotic fibers, and elevates mood by stimulating polyphenols.

    While it could improve brain function by promoting better blood flow, it's crucial to choose chocolate with at least 70% cocoa.

    However, moderation is key as dark chocolate is calorie-dense and can contain caffeine that might disrupt sleep patterns.
