Eat more chocolate!

February 10, 2012

On Tuesday, millions of chocolate boxes will be sold across the country. Yes, it's Valentine's Day again!

Well if you have a special someone buying you chocolate or a single drowning in your sorrows, chocolate is the way to go! According to a recent AP article, "Cocoa beans contain flavanoids that have antioxidant qualities. Antioxidants combat free radicals that damage cells. They also help reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. The higher the cocoa content of the chocolate, the better."

Who knew Valentine's Day could be so beneficial for your health?

But, remember chocolate still has calories, fat and saturated fat. A moderate portion of chocolate can be good for the soul.
 

So are you going to indulge in some chocolate this Valentine's Day? Do you believe chocolate will benefit your health?
