Apparently, eating chocolate that way can help you live longer

This can only be good news.

We love our chocolate. Mix it in a cake, put it in a pancake, make hot chocolate or just swallow it in the package – we'll have something for everyone.

It's delicious and it makes us happy. And now, it could even lengthen our lives.

According to a new study, eating chocolate and zinc together can help you live longer.

Researchers from the University of Erlangen in Nuremberg and Auburn University in Alabama have discovered that the combination of the two ingredients can protect against natural "oxidative stress".

Oxidative stress is an internal gas in your body that can lead to aging, as well as diseases such as cancer, inflammation or degenerative diseases.

When antioxidant polyphenols – present in chocolate, tea and coffee – are mixed with zinc, it creates a "complex enzyme" that fights oxidative gas. her own.

So the next time you grab this chocolate cake, just add zinc and you will not feel guilty about it – it makes your life longer after all.
