  • Flavanols Prevent Stress-Induced Vascular Damage

     

    Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/u-dtIiYDRCw

     

    Drinking a flavanol-enriched cocoa beverage can protect your blood vessels during times of mental stress.  This the conclusion of a tightly controlled British study involving 30 male subjects from the University of Birmingham.

     

    Each subject’s arm blood flow and a full battery of cardiovascular tests were performed at baseline and after drinking different cocoa drinks with either high or low concentrations of flavanol while being challenged with a difficult math problems.  

     

    The flavanol significantly improved peripheral blood flow during subject stress without impacting either heart rate or blood pressure. Such blood flow improvement could positively impact an individual’s reasoning abilities.

     

    Flavanols occur in apples, berries, soy, tea, and red wine.
