Dark chocolate and red wine contain beneficial flavonoids like catechins, epicatechins, and procyanidins that can improve heart health and reduce cancer risk. Catechins are powerful antioxidants found in high amounts in cocoa and act to improve blood flow and reduce body fat, while epicatechins help heart health. Quercetin, a flavonol found in wine, helps reduce allergies, asthma, and hypertension and maintains blood vessel health through its antioxidant effects. Drinking 196ml of red wine per day can significantly reduce atherosclerosis risk in adults.

DARK CHOCOLATE •Recommended – an ounce per day! •Included in the healing foods pyramid. FLAVONOIDS: CATECHIN, EPICATECHIN, PROCYANIDINS WINE o90% of the phenolic compounds are flavonoids. Lesser in white wines. FLAVONOIDS: FLAVONOLS ( QUERCETIN) ANTHOCYANINS TANNINS
CATECHINS oIt is a natural phenol and antioxidant oCocoa has the highest amount (108mg/100g) oProduced through the shikimic acid pathway Acts on the endothelial cells, affect vasodilation, contributing to normal blood flow. Helps in reducing body fat. EPICATECHINS oEpicatechin is a strong antioxidant, has insulin mimic action and improves heart health. oIt is a diastereoisomer of catechin in cis configuration.
oThey are condensation products of catechin and epicatechins. o Oligomeric flavonoids Natural defense mechanism against plant pathogens and predators such as in case of strawberries. Provide antioxidant protection against Heart diseases and cancer.
oQuercetin is synthesised from phenylalanine in a series of steps involving phenylpropanoid pathway. oOne of the most abundant dietary flavonoid with a daily consumption of 25-50mg. Quercetin helps in alleviating Allergy, Asthma, Maintain Blood vessel health act as Antioxidant, And reduce hypertension etc.
• According to Vinson, Teufel, and Wu (2001), consumption of 196 ml of red wine per day is enough to significantly reduce the atherosclerosis risk in a 70 kg adult. • Pinot-Noir wine had the highest amount of flavonoids/polyphenols.
