Simon Mills highlights health benefits of dark chocolate

British phytotherapy expert Simon Mills suggests that consuming 50 to 100 grams of dark chocolate daily, containing at least 75 percent cocoa, can offer significant health benefits. Mills, a Cambridge-educated medical scientist and clinical herbalist, noted in a discussion with entrepreneur Steven Bartlett that high-quality cocoa can produce rapid physiological effects.

Research indicates that cocoa consumption can lead to observable changes in blood flow within minutes to an hour. These improvements in circulation are linked to enhanced brain health and cardiovascular wellness. Experts in phytotherapy recommend high-percentage cocoa to support mood improvement, circulation, and longevity.
