Chewing Chocolate Has the Same Benefits as Jogging

Are you included into people who will not wake up so early in the morning to have some exercise? So, here is good news for you! You do not need to do that, just chew some dark chocolates and get the same benefit!

An America researcher has found a fact that chewing some few dark chocolates will give the same benefits as you have an exercise. It is also found that if you combine between eating dark chocolates and having exercise, the impact will increase up to 50%!

A researcher from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, found a fact that a content of chocolate named epicatechin can stimulate the muscle growth, it is the same as jogging can do.

In a test on mice,  it can be seen that epicatechin products more mitochondria which is a small bacteria which gives energy to the body and increases the number of capillary which delivers the oxygen to the muscle.  "Having aerobic or jogging is famously known as the activity which may increase the number of mitochondria in muscle cells." said Doctor Moh Malek as quoted from Daily Mail.

"Our study also finds a fact that epicatechin seems give the same benefit and response, both to the hearth and muscles." he added. They also wish this effect can be applied to humans as well. This study has been published in Journal of Psychology in 14 September 2011.
