One analysis found that flavanols found in cocoa beans support the production of nitric oxide, which stimulates blood vessels to dilate.  In turn, this plays a small, yet significant effect on lowering blood pressure in the short-term.  Another study carried out on patients with chronic fatigue at Hull York Medical School revealed that lower levels of fatigue were reported after eating 45g of 85 per cent cocoa chocolate.  What&amp;#039;s more, researchers at Cambridge University found that eating dark chocolate in moderation can help to reduce the risk of a heart attack or stroke.  So rather than gifting your loved one with a box of milk or white chocolate, present them with some dark chocolate instead.
