Happy Easter!

Feeling guilty about those chocolate eggs you demolished over the Easter holidays? Well, don't. Because research reveals dark chocolate not only tastes great, but boosts fitness and triggers muscle growth.

Black Magic

So what makes chocolate so magical? The secret seems to lie with its chemical makeup, as studies show eating dark chocolate affects your muscles in a similar way to high intensity training.

Here is what the guys in the lab coats found:

A group of US scientists at Wayne State University in Detroit carried out tests on mice and discovered the plant compound epicatechin (found in dark chocolate) appears to stimulate muscle growth.

Dr Moh Malek was one of the lead researchers and had this to say: "Aerobic exercise, such as running or cycling, is known to increase the number of mitochondria in muscle cells. Our study has found that epicatechin seems to bring about the same response - particularly in the heart and skeletal muscles."

And it's this last part that holds special significance for us.

Not only does dark chocolate provide your wellbeing with a welcome boost, but it triggers muscle mass increases too.

This is great news for anyone who lifts weights, and is a fantastic reason to chomp chocolate!
