Choco Goodness


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*

I love dark chocolate. But you have to be careful not to overdue it. A little bit of dark chocolate every once in a while is alright. I wouldn't eat it every day like you suggest though.

Yes, too much chocolate is bad for the body and may cause undue obesity. I also eat a little dark chocolate to maintain a normal blood pressure. Thanks for the informative post. God bless you always.

Liza,

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...

Cheers
