If you decide to try to incorporate chocolate into your battle against high blood pressure, keep in mind that the chocolate must still have the flavonoids in it for it to have any possible cardiovascular benefits. Most commercial chocolates are so processed they no longer have the flavonoids so be sure to check the label before you buy.
Researchers believe that chocolate may help by increasing nitric oxide levels in your blood stream which then helps your body control your blood pressure. Exercise is probably one of the best ways to increase nitric oxide and it is supported by many scientific studies. Another great way to lower blood pressure naturally is with an isometric handgrip therapy device called the Zona Plus.

Since I have high blood pressure and like chocolate I am pleased. Now, just keep me away from the scales.

I’ve been experimenting with Callebaut’s 70.4% dark cocoa for
quite a while and ‘wide world of chocolate’ has 5kg blocks for
$82.26/less shipping and 100% cocoa 5kg blocks for
$82.18/less shipping.

Not sure about the blood pressure part but dark and semi-
sweet cocoa is a big source of antioxidants and flavonoids
which are beneficial.

Of course if you eat too much chocolate you’ll get fat and that is not good for your blood pressure at all. But perhaps a bar a week wouldn’t hurt.
