00:00What if your guilty pleasures could actually help you live longer?

00:03Yes, we're talking about red wine and dark chocolate.

00:06A major new study has revealed that flavonoids,

00:09natural compounds found in plant foods,

00:11could cut your risk of diabetes, cancer, and even early death.

00:16These compounds are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

00:20They fight damage from things like pollution and poor diet,

00:23and they calm inflammation linked to heart disease and obesity.

00:26But here's the twist.

00:27It's not just about how much you eat.

00:30It's about how many different kinds you eat.

00:32Researchers tracked over 124,000 people.

00:36They found that those who consumed a variety of flavonoids

00:38had a 14% lower risk of death and 20% less risk of type 2 diabetes.

00:44Red wine and dark chocolate are loaded with flavonoids,

00:47but so are tea, apples, oranges, grapes, and berries.

00:51Just two cups of tea a day can give you the optimal 500-mild ol' flavonoid boost.

00:56So yes, a glass of wine and a bite of chocolate might not be so guilty after all.

01:01Your sweet indulgence might just be your secret weapon for a longer life.
