Cocoa and Green Tea: The Antidote to Stress-Induced Junk Food Cravings

A study from the University of Birmingham suggests that consuming cocoa high in flavanols can mitigate the negative cardiovascular effects of eating fatty foods during stress. Flavanols, found in cocoa, green tea, and berries, help maintain blood vessel function and regulate blood pressure. The research highlights the potential health benefits of incorporating flavanol-rich foods into diets, especially for those who consume high-fat foods when stressed.
