According to a new study, the chocolate improves a person's athletic performance as much as exercise does . Dark chocolate contains epicatechin, a compound of plants seems to stimulate muscle growth in a similar way as it does strenuous exercise. But if this were not enough, the study published in the Journal of Physiology states that when you eat small amounts of chocolate and you exercise, performance rises by 50 percent . "Aerobic exercise, like running or biking increases the mitochondria in muscle cells, 'says Dr Moh Malek at Wayne State University in Detroit. Mitochondria are cellular organelles responsible for providing most of the energy needed for cellular activity, and this research was that epicatechin helps produce more mitochondria, thereby increasing energy levels. This study was conducted in mice But scientists expect that the chocolate has the same benefits in humans. To do this, they say, yet more research is needed but caution that the results of their experiment are quite encouraging. The relationship between chocolate and exercise is even closer, because previous research has also pointed out that milk chocolate is perfect for recovery after exercise.Saturday, November 12, 2011
