You should eat chocolate, NOW!
Ok, but not any kind.
Specifically, dark chocolate, since it contains more cocoa.
Cocoa contains epicatechin and it will increase the number of stem cells in your blood.
Why this matters:
here's some chatgpt

1. Location and Function
- Growth Plate Stem Cells: Stem cells are located in the epiphyseal growth plate, which is essential for the elongation of long bones. These stem cells are responsible for generating chondrocytes, the cells that form cartilage, which is necessary for bone growth [1][2].
2. Chondrocyte Production
- Proliferation and Differentiation: Stem cells in the growth plate proliferate and differentiate into various types of chondrocytes, including resting, proliferative, and hypertrophic chondrocytes. This organized structure allows for continuous bone lengthening during childhood and adolescence [1][2].
TLDR: More stem cells = more chondrocytes - growth plate senescence happens when you have no more chondrocytes left. If you have no chondrocytes left there is no WAY to grow because most compounds like HGH only boost chondrocyte activity and cell proliferation and all that.
And if that did not convince you enough:
"Adolescents consuming chocolate had greater longitudinal bone growth."
