Chocolate and wine consumption have been associated with some health benefits. So, why not learn all about how to pair these two delicacies all while you taste a range of single origin chocolates.
Wine and chocolate have a long history with mankind, and some research suggest they may actually bring some health benefits, when consumed in moderation.
A 2021 study, for example, found that consuming about half glass of red wine per day could reduce the risk of having a heart attack, stroke, angina or even death among people with cardiovascular disease. Also, a recent review concluded that moderate beer consumption was associated with a decreased incidence of cardiovascular disease and overall mortality, as reported earlier by Medical Forum.
Good quality dark chocolate has been associated with different health benefits. For example, one study found that consumption of dark chocolate significantly decreased oxidised LDL (bad) cholesterol in men. Another study, focused on older men, found a link between dark chocolate a reduction in the risk of death from heart disease over a 15-year period. Even your skin may benefit, as one study found that flavanols found in dark chocolate can protect skin from sun damage, improve blood flow to the skin, and increase skin density and hydration.
Now you can learn a bit more about these two morsels all while enjoying a taste of WA’s best samples.
