7. Relieves Diarrhea
The cocoa content of chocolate ranges from 50% to 90%. Cocoa is rich in polyphenols called flavonoids, which can inhibit the absorption of protein, chloride ions, and water in the intestines. Thereby reducing water loss and preventing diarrhea and the effect of dehydration.
8. Helps Prevent Diabetes
The flavonoids in dark chocolate help moderate insulin sensitivity. One study showed that people who ate dark chocolate every day had decreased insulin resistance, which in turn lowered their likelihood of developing diabetes.
