Answers:
Yes, dark chocolate and red wine both contain high levels of flavonoids, which are chemical compounds that help keep your blood vessels healthy and prevent blood clots (which in turn can cause heart attacks or strokes)!. Studies show that a bit of dark chocolate every day can benefit your cardiovascular system without raising your cholesterol!.

What's cool is that recent studies seem to suggest that when you consume flavonoids your body sees them as foreign and tries to get rid of them, but in the process produces enzymes that also destroy certain carcinogens!. So in addition to helping your heart, flavonoids may also help to prevent cancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
