11. Dark Chocolate and Cocoa
Who doesn’t love chocolate? And when we know that it can offer a wide range of health benefits, we love it even more. Your doctor probably told you that dark chocolate is able to reduce inflammation in the body, but we will repeat it.
Flavonols are the ones responsible for reducing inflammation, and they are basically powerful antioxidants you can find in other foods, too. But why would you want to eat something else when dark chocolate has it?
It seems that smokers, in particular, could benefit the most after eating dark chocolate by lowering oxidative stress related to smoking. Just make sure to get a dark chocolate bar that contains at least 70 percent cocoa.
