Choco Goodness

Read

Go ahead and savor some chocolate, the dark kind, that is. Having an ounce a day helps regulate blood pressure and protect your heart due to its flavonols. But wait, the benefits don't stop there. Chocolate is the latest brain food! The flavonols in this yummy snack are protective substances that help improve blood flow to the brain, which could slow the mental decline that occurs as we age. However, this good news does not give you a license to indulge, remember I said "some." *wink*

Hello, darling :D! Oh, I had chocolate yesterday and let me tell you that you are right: it is food for brain! And it is so bloody relaxing...

But since I am not a sweet-tooth I only eat chocolates from times to times ;).

I hope you had a terrific weekend, my darling friend! :D

Wishing you a blessed week ahead, I leave you...
