Who would not want to have a healthy heart. Vital organs in the body also must be kept healthy. One of them is by eating foods or drinks that can help increase good cholesterol in the body.
A new study also quoted from the website timesofindia.com, says that dark chocolate and red wine have positive components that are good for the heart.
The researcher Susan Ovria, a Nutrition Educator from Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, red wine and dark chocolate contains 70 percent of the high resveratol also believed to lower blood sugar.
The content of catechins in both can help increase good cholesterol or HDL. Yuk, healthy life for a healthy heart!

Antioxidants on the rise lately because of its ability to protect cells from free radical damage. Some chronic diseases such as heart disease or cancer also mentioned the act caused by free radicals.
According to dr. Noratus Horas, from Tirtayu Healing Center, antioxidants can include vitamins, minerals or enzymes, which are present in certain foods and supplements. But unfortunately, there are still many of us that are difficult to implement diet (eating) healthy such as eating fruits and vegetables. And in fact many sources of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables. Here are 7 Super Antioxidants are good for the body:
Ellagic Acid
These compounds, commonly found in red raspberries and can be regarded as one of the most potent cancer fighter because it has antimutagenic properties. A study at the Hollings Cancer Center at Medical University of South California (MUSC) found that ellagic acid works to slow the growth of abnormal cells in the human gut and prevent infection of the cells of the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is associated with cervical cancer.
In fact, it was only attacked the cancer cells without harming healthy cells, a process that is beneficial in the fight against prostate, breast, lung, esophageal and skin cancers. Other studies have also shown that ellagic acid can fight heart disease, reduce the risk of birth defects and accelerate wound healing.
Contained in: Raspberry Red, pomegranate, strawberries, blueberries and walnuts.
Proanthocyanidins
These antioxidants are flavonoids including families. Proanthocyanidins are compounds that give red and blue fruit, and has been proven to be beneficial to strengthen capillaries, improve vision in the dark, supporting the integrity of the walls of blood vessels and prevent blood clots. Proanthocyanidins can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, and protect against urinary tract infections.
Contained in: Raisins, grape seed, grape skin, bilberry, cranberry, black currant, green tea, black tea, pine bark, cocoa.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a very small molecule and is the most important antioxidant because it is inside the cell. This molecule is able to neutralize free radicals, boost the immune system and helps the liver remove toxins from the body. Glutathione is often called the "master antioxidant" because it serves as a regulator and regenerator of immune cells and the most valuable detoxifying agent in the human body. Low levels of glutathione in the body is closely related to liver dysfunction, immune dysfunction, cardiac disease, premature aging and death.
Contained in: Goat's milk, whey protein, asparagus, avocado, parsley, broccoli. Polyphenols
Micronutrients
Micronutrient represents a large group of antioxidants including flavonoids and anthocyanidins. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, this compound has been shown to prevent degenerative conditions, including cancer and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Contained in: Strawberry, green tea, black tea, grape skins, red wine, onions, broccoli, green vegetables, apples, blueberries, cocoa (fruits and vegetables every part contains several polyphenols)
Vitamin E
The most popular form of vitamin E is alpha-tocopherol, as well as gamma-tocopherol. A study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that the risk of prostate cancer drops significantly with high levels of vitamin E. It is known that men with high levels of alpha-tocopherol in the blood, 51 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer. While the high levels of gamma-tocopherol in the blood, 43 per cent lower risk of the disease.
Contained in: Nuts, vegetable oil, corn oil, green leafy vegetables.
Carotenoids
Karetenoid is a fat-soluble micronutrients, which are known as beta-carotene (which can be converted into vitamin A in the body). Mikronutien is believed effective against free radicals, inhibit and prevent cervical cancer, lung, prostate, colon, endometrial and esophageal cancer.
Contained in: Citrus, vegetables and fruits dark green and yellow, such as sweet potatoes, apricots, turnips, carrots, melons, pumpkins and tomatoes. Eggs and spirulina are also good sources.
Ozone
Ozone is a super antioxidant and super-detox that selectively removes viruses, bacteria, toxic metals, and other pathogens from the body. Ozone therapy is effective for treating a variety of diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, eczema, acne, Lyme, chronic fatigue, and countless other conditions. Ozone has even been used to treat cancer throughout the world over the past 50 years, with an impressive success rate.

If you previously had often heard of red wine may increase the risk of cancer, a study cited by the Times Heath on March 29, 2012, it reveals the hidden benefits of a glass of red wine.
The research, led by Professor Charis Eng of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute in Ohio, studied the effect of resveratrol in breast cancer cells.
From the results of medical tests, resveratrol found in a glass of red wine. Resveratol a compound in grapes that berkasiat enhance the effects of cancer drugs such as rapamycin.
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant substance produced by plants such as grapes, raspberries, cranberries and peanuts to fight fungal and bacterial infections.
The researchers have also explored kasiat red wine in reducing the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer's, and even inhibit the aging process.
For researchers, the findings suggest an additive effect between the two compounds in breast cancer cell signaling and suppresses the growth of cancer cells if consumed at least a glass per day.

Kee-Hong Kim and Jung Yeon Kwon, two scientists from Purdue University in the Journal of Biological Chemistry reported that compounds in grapes called piceatannol has the ability to block the immature fat cells to grow and develop.
Researchers say, piceatannol has a structure similar to resveratrol - a compound found in grapes and peanuts are expected to help fight cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative disease. According to scientists, piceatannol may be an important weapon to fight obesity. Resveratrol converted to piceatannol in humans after ingestion.
"Piceatannol actually can alter gene expression, gene function and insulin during adipogenesis (fat cells start the process turn into mature fat cells)," said Kim.
"In the presence of piceatannol, we can see a delay or obstacles adipogenesis process," he added.
Kim explained, over a period of 10 days or more, the fat cells in the body are usually not too ripe, this phase is called preadipocytes. However, after going through several stages, the fat cells were transformed into mature, or so-called adipocytes.
"We consider the process of adipogenesis is the right target to delay or prevent the accumulation of fat cells," he said.
Kim added, piceatannol capable of binding to insulin receptors than fat cells do not mature at the first stage of the process of adipogenesis. Piceatannol also works by blocking the pathway of fat cells to produce and grow.
Piceatannol is one of the few compounds that are currently being studied for health benefits, which are also present in different amounts in the seeds and skins of grapes, blueberries, passion fruit, and other fruit.
Kim confirmed that the current findings do based on the cell culture system, using animal models of obesity. "We still need to work to improve the stability and solubility of piceatannol to create a biological effect," added Kim.
