Eat Dark Chocolate

Episode 10 of 12

Zoe Ball explains how you don't need to ditch chocolate to improve your health – you just need to move over to the dark side and eat chocolate with a minimum of 70 per cent cocoa.

Can a sweet treat ever be good for you? Zoe Ball is in Birmingham, trying to tempt fitness fanatic Bilal away from sugary sweets and towards flavanol-rich dark chocolate. Chocolate may get a bad press, but the science shows that if you go over to the dark side and eat chocolate with at least 70 per cent cocoa, it could boost your heart health, improve your brain function and even reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. A delicious upgrade with serious benefits.
