Why: It's sweet, it's delicious, and it's good for you.
Dark
chocolate has been proven to lower blood pressure by increasing blood
flow and improving heart function.
Look for: Dark chocolate, which wins when it comes to health
benefits since it's got more cacao content than milk chocolate (as well as
less fat and sugar). So choose a dark chocolate that's got a high cacao
percentage and don't go overboard ‹ a square per day is the amount
recommended to get a heart-healthy benefit.
