Dark chocolate is rich in cocoa solids, which contain compounds known as flavonolds. At high levels, cocoa flavanols have been shown to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, improve cognition and possibly lower the risk of diabetes. But limit your portions to about 1 piece (150calories) a day.
Dark chocolate can help prevent depression, can help prevent cardiovascular disease, can aid against diabetes, can help prevent stroke, can improve LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, can lower your blood pressure, etc.
Enjoy!!!
