Cocoa Science: A Surprising Health Hack
Manage episode 455662616 series 6004
It is widely known that episodes of high stress, even short ones, temporarily impair artery function. To make things worse, people often eat high-fat foods in times of stress, which puts more stress on the cardiovascular system. Listen in this week as Dee discusses a study showing how drinking a special kind of cacao drink may be the antidote to the cardio impacts of high stress and high fat meals.

Baynham, R., Veldhuijzen van Zanten, J. J. C. S. V., & Rendeiro, C. (2024). Cocoa flavanols rescue stress-induced declines in endothelial function after a high-fat meal, but do not affect cerebral oxygenation during stress in young, healthy adults. Food & Function, 15(23), 11472–11490. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/fo/d4fo03834g
