Dark Chocolate May Help Slow Ageing

LuxembourgPosted on 22 December 2025 by Team

Scientists have found that a natural compound found in dark chocolate could play a role in slowing down the ageing process. The chemical, known for its antioxidant properties, may help protect cells from damage caused by stress and inflammation.

Researchers explain that this compound supports cellular health by improving how cells repair themselves. This could potentially reduce the impact of age-related conditions and help maintain overall wellbeing for a longer time.

The findings open new possibilities for further research into diet-based approaches to healthy ageing.
