1. Dark chocolate
Chocolate is rich in flavonoids or oxidants. It reduces insulin resistance and helps regulate blood sugar levels. However, dark chocolate is much healthier than other kinds of chocolate. It lowers the risk of getting a heart attack or a stroke. It even lowers the blood pressure, making it a hero for people with diabetes and hypertension. Also, it reduces cravings for junk food such as chips, pizza and other foods that are high in salt and fat. You can have a small piece of dark chocolate- around 10 grams- every day to reap the benefits of this superfood.
