Three Reasons to Make Godiva Chocolate Part of Your Daily Diet
And why running London marathon felt so great
I am not a dessert person, but I love dark chocolate.
As a marathon runner, I have three good reasons to indulge in Godiva chocolate, as highlighted by Medical News Today.
- Dark chocolate reduces the risk of heart disease.
- One of the flavanols in cocoa beans is epicatechin, which increases the production of nitric oxide, and thus helps marathon runners run longer and with less discomfort. I can still see myself pumping my fist in the air during London Marathon and shouting with elation: “I love you, London.” The spectators went wild and carried me like a wave to the finish line.
- It also boosts cognitive function.
Do you want to exercise longer, have a healthier heart, and be smarter?
Eat your dark chocolate!
