When consumed in moderation, chocolate is very beneficial to our physical and mental health, especially dark chocolate. As such, our homehealth care services aim to encourage the benefits of dark chocolate and why it should be incorporated into your senior loved one’s diet.

Dark chocolates are rich in antioxidants that can improve health and lower the risk of heart disease. Quality dark chocolate is rich in fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese, and a few other minerals. It also contains stimulants like caffeine and theobromine, but it’s unlikely to keep you awake at night, as the amount of caffeine is very small compared with coffee.

Additionally, dark chocolate may help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. It is also believed to increase good cholesterol and lower the susceptibility of LDL to oxidative damage.

Aside from keeping heart and blood flow at normal levels, consuming dark chocolate may also protect your senior loved one’s skin from the sun. Dark chocolate contains flavanol, which can protect against sun damage, improve blood flow to the skin, and increase skin density and hydration.

Aside from companionship in California to entertain your senior and keep their cognitive function active, dark chocolate is also a great way to improve brain function since it improves blood flow to the brain.

In summary, dark chocolate provides numerous health benefits that should be utilized and studied more by professionals. As of now, our in-home assistance will make it a point to indulge our senior clients in eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate treats to keep them happy and healthy.
