Dark Chocolate and your heart

I think I posted this before but, it is alright to repeat this PSA. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2007:

Small amounts of dark chocolate (one piece of a 16 piece bar of 100g or around 30 calories a day) when eaten daily for about 18 weeks can lower blood pressure, which in turn can help reduce the risk of stroke or death from coronary artery disease.

Use the Valentine’s day as an excuse to buy some good dark chocolate for yourself and your loved ones.

    I combine dark chocolate with 2 other healthy foods – cranberries & nuts(almonds/pecans) – to make these simple & delicious Fruit & Nut Clusters :)
