Scientists find dark chocolate ingredient that slows aging
Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between dark chocolate and slower aging. A natural cocoa compound called theobromine was found in higher levels among people who appeared biologically younger than their real age.
A chemical present in black chocolate could slow biological aging, according to research at King's College in London, UK.

Researchers at King’s College London identified a possible link between theobromine, a natural compound present in black chocolate, and a slower biological ageing, based on molecular data from over 1,600 participants, writes SciTechDaily. The study correlates the levels of theobromine with younger biological markers The study analyzed the levels of theobromine in blood and found that people with higher concentrations present a biological age les…
