Could hot cocoa be the next "wonder drug" for high blood pressure ?

Harvard researchers praise stunningly simple discovery !

According to recent estimates,

nearly 1 in 3 Americans adults has high blood pressure

But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama, hypertension doesn't even exist

In fact, after age 60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a perfect 110/70

Is it because they eat less salt ?

No

Kuna Indians eat as much,

if not more salt,

than people in the USA

Is it due to their genes ?

No

Kuna Indians who move away from the islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood pressure as anyone else !

So what makes these folks practically " immune " to hypertension

and let them enjoy much lower death rates

from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and cancer

Harvard researchers were stunned to discover

that it is because they drink about 5 cups of cocoa each day

That's right , Cocoa !

Studies show the flavonols stimulate

the body's production of nitric oxide

--- boosting blood flow to your heart, brain and other organs

In fact, one study found cocoa thins your blood just as well as low-dose aspirin !

But that's not all

A Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa

can also treat blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, even importence !

Oklahoma

How do you pronounce Oklahoma ?

The proper way is :

OKLA ... (  with a pause ) ..HOMA

There is a pause between the " A " and the " H "

That is exactly the way the Americans do it ...

and here is a photo to prove that is so

There, you learned something today

This is proof that this blog is educational !
