Bryan Johnsonan ostentatious millionaire known for his lifestyle based on an intensive health and longevity regime, began to apply a new longevity concept called health span to his routine. It involves a change of mentality on how to plan the next years of life. The new lifestyle seeks to proactively make decisions about oneself that can build a healthier future taking into account nutrition, exercise and healthy habits, which also includes chocolate.

The benefits of dark chocolate
On his YouTube channel, Bryan Johnson said that “three years ago I was not in the best of health thanks to a lifetime of eating a sad American diet.” However, due to changes in his daily routine and the addition of the bitter candy, he is trying to “cheat death.”
The 46-year-old American aims to live to 150 years old. To achieve this, he said that “chocolate is one of the best foods.” Although it may seem like a paradox, science has confirmed that dark chocolate brings with it several benefits: improved cardiovascular health, cholesterol control, improved brain health, reduced blood pressure, decreased inflation and improved mood.
It is worth noting that these benefits are acquired through dark chocolate when it is of high quality, has a high cocoa content and little or no added sugar and processed fats.
Is it advisable to eat chocolate every day?
Eating moderate amounts of quality dark chocolate (between 20 and 30 grams daily) can have the positive effects already mentioned on health.
However, excessive consumption has a negative effect on the body, as it can cause insomnia or nervousness, headaches and can even cause liver problems.
