Dark Chocolate's benefits are released by the good gut microbes.

Benefits of Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate has been know for it's good healthy effects, and recently researches have found it's beneficial properties are released in the human body.

Scientists at Louisiana State University, who have been studying on the effects of cocoa, have found that it's beneficial compounds are released in body by some of the good microbes present in out stomach.

Good microbes such as  Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria, feast on chocolate i.e when we eat dark chocolate these microbes grow and ferment it releasing compounds which have anti-inflammatory effect.

These anti-inflammatory compounds decrease the cardiovascular tissue inflammation and hence reduce the risk of stroke.

Apart from this Cocoa is also rich in flavanols (naturally occurring antioxidants ) and contain a small amount of dietary fibers.

So, according to researches it is suggested that combining cocoa products with food rich in prebiotics (which can be found in bananas, raw garlic, wheat flour, raw asparagus) would be more beneficial for human health.
