Dark Chocolate!

Consuming dark chocolate is linked to a 21% reduction in the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Milk chocolate does not offer the same benefit and is associated with weight gain.

The beneficial effects of dark chocolate are attributed to its high polyphenol flavonoid content, which improves insulin sensitivity and helps manage blood sugar levels.

Research shows that consuming five or more servings of dark chocolate weekly leads to a 3% decrease in Type 2 diabetes.

Dark chocolate’s flavonoids not only aid in reducing diabetes risk but also enhance overall metabolic health by improving vascular function and reducing inflammation.

Polyphenol-rich dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao) helps lower fasting blood glucose and blood pressure in just two weeks, offering a quick intervention for metabolic health.

(1 ounce of dark chocolate is at least 150 calories, so munch mindfully)
