Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The heart is the most important organ in humans. Therefore, many people are trying to maintain their heart health, one of them is by exercising. However, exercise alone is not enough. According to various studies, a person can reduce the risk of developing the disease coronary heart by consuming cocoa powder as the people of Kuna Island in Panama do, diligently consume chocolate pure aka cocoa powder that does not have any mixture.
According to research published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, from 6 studies conducted since 1996, researchers concluded that consuming dark chocolate more than 3 times per month can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Another study that is also popular is that carried out by Harvard University when finding out the secret to the longevity of the residents of Kuna Island, Panama. The inhabitants of the island are known to have no cardiovascular problems, with an average blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg, including residents aged 60 years and over. Research shows that this is because the people of Kuna Island are used to consuming pure chocolate, aka cocoa powder, which does not have any mixture.
How is it different from chocolate that has gone through processing and is consumed by the public as a snack in general?
According to the medical consultant Forever Healthy Indonesia, Dr. Winda O Panjaitan, explained that chocolate processing reduces the flavanol content, which provides many benefits for the body.
The flavanol content in cocoa beans has an antioxidant effect that can reduce cell damage associated with heart disease, and reduce blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle.
“Therefore, the recommended chocolate for heart patients is one that has at least 70 percent cocoa powder in it,” said Winda in a written statement, Saturday (3/7/2021).
The good news is that Indonesia now has one cocoa bean extract product that has managed to maintain 80 percent of its flavanol content, namely Cocoa Flvnol.
This product has been approved by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), in its role in helping maintain the elasticity of blood vessels. As a result, blood can flow normally.
If you want to get the maximum benefit from Cocoa Flvnol, consumers only need to consume a minimum of 200 mg of flavanol every day. This means that consumers only need to use 5 grams of Cocoa Flvnol to meet the needs of flavanols per day.
In addition to maintaining the heart and blood vessels, Cocoa Flvnol also has other health benefits. Starting from reducing cholesterol levels, reducing insulin resistance, reducing the risk of cancer, to maintaining healthy skin. You can get this product exclusively through the official distributor of Forever Healthy Indonesia.
