Chocolate Good For Your Health!


We all love chocolate. We love a healthy heart even more. So why not combine the two to create a healthy lifestyle? Sounds tempting enough. Studies have shown that eating one small piece of chocolate a day can help lower risks of a heart attack. This is wonderful news for those of you who are health conscience but are constantly fighting back the relentless sweet tooth.

So which type of chocolate seems to be the best choice? Dark chocolate seems to be the most beneficial form of chocolate to help lower the risks of a stroke or a heart attack. Milk chocolate has a significantly less amount of beneficial effects, whereas white chocolate has ultimately zero beneficial ingredients to help lower risks. Dark chocolate contains the least amount of a protein that leads to inflammation followed closely by a heart attack.

So, you have heard the good news, but this mean that you are only limited to bars of chocolate? No. Check out a few recipes that use dark chocolate that can also be very beneficial to your heart’s health.
