Summary
This study looked at whether a cocoa drink rich in flavanols can protect blood vessel function and blood pressure in healthy older adults who sit for long periods. Twenty participants aged 65 and older drank either a high-flavanol or low-flavanol cocoa before sitting for 2 hours. Researchers measured artery dilation and blood pressure to see if the flavanols helped prevent the usual decline from prolonged sitting.
