Friends we bring you some of the dark chocolates benefits:

Daily consumption of dark chocolate reduces risks of fatal and non-fatal heart attacks, new research says.

Monash University research showed that dark chocolates blood pressure-and cholesterol-lowering qualities made it a cheap and tasty intervention strategy for a population at high risk of cardiovascular disease.

The study conducted by Ella Zomer, Christopher Reid, Alice Owen and Dianna Magliano from Monash department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, and Danny Liew from Melbourne University shows that having dark chocolate daily could prevent 70 non-fatal and 15 fatal cardiovascular events per 10,000 people over a 10-year period.

Zomer said the study was the first to examine the long-term health benefits of flavanoids, which are found in dark chocolate and known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, the British Medical Journal reported.

"Weve predicted significant health benefits of eating 100 grams of dark chocolate everyday over a 10 year period. Thats about the equivalent of one premium-quality block containing a minimum 70 percent cocoa, Zomer said, according to a university statement.

"Our findings indicate dark chocolate therapy could provide an alternative to or be used to complement drug therapeutics in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease," Zomer said.

Cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack and stroke, is the leading cause of death worldwide.

"We're not suggesting that the high-risk group use dark chocolate as their only preventative measure, but in combination with sensible choices, such as exercise," Zomer added.

Researchers used a math model to predict the long-term health effects and cost effectiveness of daily dark chocolate consumption in 2,013 people, already at high risk of heart disease. Participants had no history of heart disease or diabetes and were not on blood pressure-lowering therapy.

Friends above you have check the dark chocolates advantages and now check out the interesting research on how to get satisfied on controlling the diet:

People who successfully control their diet eat fewer unhealthy foods because they are satisfied sooner, a study shows.

Some people can exercise real self-control when it comes to eating while others over-indulge on unhealthy cookies and candies.

Do the former have more willpower? Or are they simply satisfied more quickly?

In a series of experiments, researchers from Texas A&M University found that people with poor self-control were able to establish greater control when they paid close attention to the quantities of unhealthy foods they consumed because simply paying attention made them more quickly satisfied, the Journal of Consumer Research reported.

In one interesting study, a group of people were asked to eat either a healthy or an unhealthy snack. Some of them were asked to count how many times they swallowed while eating the snack, according to a Texas A&M statement.

People who counted the number of times they swallowed were satisfied more quickly even if they otherwise had a low level of self-control.

Monitoring how much they ate made consumers with low self-control behave like those with high self-control.

"One way is to keep better track of the quantity of unhealthy foods they eat," wrote authors Joseph P Redden (University of Minnesota) and Kelly L Haws (Texas A&M University).

"Although self-control is typically viewed as a battle between willpower and desire, consumers can't rely entirely on willpower to control their eating. They also need to create situations that will make them lose interest in food," they concluded.
