Cocoa and its role in health and sports

Chocolate and cocoa is very useful for health according to many of the scientific evidence. A new study confirmed that the components in the cocoa good for blood vessels and arteries, where it says that the flavonols found in cocoa that improves blood flow and thus to improve athletic performance.

 Scientists and researchers from the University of Düsseldorf and Maastricht University and the sports in the Cologne study the effects of cocoa and its components on athletic performance by conducting tests on 12 of the athletes and cyclists, where the scientists to provide athletes for a full week twice a day drink cocoa. Each drink was cocoa contains 20 milligrams of flavonol, one of the secondary plant compounds, which are frequently not only in cocoa but also in the red grapes, known scientifically its impact positive on the heart and its role in prevention.

Effective impact of cocoa:

Through the study of the effects of cocoa on health, sports scientists found through experiments that the cocoa is already a positive role in Akaddrt sports, where scientists found that the drink cocoa to work on improving the functions of the arteries and veins in addition to the scientists observed also that athletic performance and sports scores also improved after athletes eat cocoa for a week. Scientists observed relative change in vessel diameter, which improved or expanded after the trial period significantly from 6.3 percent to 8 percent thus resulting in the improved mathematical results through the systematic approach of cocoa.

Scientists believe that cocoa is to provide a biological nitric oxide and increase the quantity in the body. Nitric oxide affects the function of blood vessels by affecting the vascular system so as to facilitate the flow of blood vessels Dql.
