Dark chocolate is not only a delicious treat but also a potent anti-inflammatory food. Made from cacao beans, dark chocolate is high in antioxidants known as flavonoids, which can help reduce inflammation and protect the body from oxidative stress.

The key to enjoying the anti-inflammatory benefits of dark chocolate is choosing a product with a high cacao content – at least 70%. This ensures that you’re getting a higher concentration of flavonoids and less sugar, which can contribute to inflammation.

In moderation, dark chocolate can be a healthy and enjoyable addition to your diet. Aim to consume a small serving (1-2 squares) a few times a week to reap its anti-inflammatory benefits without overindulging. (8)
