Eat Dark Chocolate = Exercising?

Good news for my friends who do not like exercise. What is it? Now there is another way that 'may' is much more comfortable that the effect is not lost through exercise. Want to know? Curious? The answer is to eat chocolate. Why? Not good? we do not need to tired to exercise, do not need to be bathed in sweat, quite simply by eating chocolate. This is not true? Lest lie? First patient, do not protest!

You could say that chocolate is a favorite food of all ages. Foods that this one was known to have a delicious flavor. People who do not like chocolate 'maybe' you could say 'weird'. Some time ago, a study has brought out another one for the health benefits of chocolate. Previously found a variety of chocolate's health benefits. But this is different to that before. A recent study revealed that eating dark chocolate has health benefits for our body, which is equivalent to people who do sports activities.

A researcher from Wyne State University, Dr.. Moh Malek, focused his research on mitochondria. Mitochondria are the energy generation sources that produce energy in cells. In his research, he discovered the existence of a plant compound found in cocoa or cocoa called epicatechin. These compounds are able to provide stimulation to the muscles so that the response generated is similar to sports activities. Dr. Malek explained that mitochondria produce the energy used by cells in the body. The more mitochondria means the greater the energy produced. Thus, the more work that can be done by the body.

This study used rats as experimental. Research conducted by Dr. Malek is using a type of cocoa epicatechin administered to rats twice a day. This is done regularly and continuously for 15 days. At the same time, other rats that underwent exercise treadmill for 30 minutes per day. From both experiments, Dr. Malek found that rats that ate only epicatechin has the same performance as a treadmill exercise rats.

The researchers hope these findings can be used as an alternative to fight age-related muscle wasting.
"It appears that epicatechin treatment combined with exercise can be a means to offset the aging of muscles," adds Dr. Malek.
