Flavonoid-rich cocoa supplement reverses arterial stiffness and decreases blood pressure. Arterial stiffness, a condition in which the walls of arteries become more rigid, increases with age and is a strong risk factor for hypertension. The links between arterial stiffness and hypertension are likely bidirectional, with aortic stiffening driving increases in systolic pressure, and elevated pressures promoting vascular damage and accelerated stiffening. Findings from a new study suggest that flavonoid compounds in cocoa reverse arterial stiffness. Cocoa, the principal component of chocolate, ... diet blood pressure

Plant-based dietary compounds exert a wide range of beneficial health effects on humans, likely due to their antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties, among others. Evidence from a recent study suggests that plant-based compounds rosmarinic acid and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) improve sleep and daytime function in people with poor sleep. Rosmarinic acid is found in many culinary herbs, including rosemary, oregano, sage, thyme, and peppermint. Evidence suggests it influences sleep by regulating neurotransmitters in the brain such as GABA (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/... sleep memory green tea antioxidant supplements cognition

Aging induces a number of disease-related changes to the cardiovascular system, including dysfunction of the endothelial cells that line blood vessels. Eating fruits and vegetables, which are rich in a variety of beneficial bioactive compounds, may slow cardiovascular aging. Investigators tested the effects of anthocyanin compounds from blueberries on flow-mediated dilation. Flow-mediated dilation refers to the capacity of an artery to expand in response to increased blood flow. It is a widely accepted measure of vascular endothelial function, and poor flow-mediated dilation is a recognized fe... diet heart disease cardiovascular
