A healthy dose of decadence
8/30/2011
How can something so indulgently, delectably decadent as dark chocolate be a healthy morsel?
It’s simple. Remember, chocolate comes from cocoa, a plant. In addition to a rich burst of flavor, dark chocolate provides the health benefits of many plants.
In fact, since it’s concentrated, dark chocolate packs a stronger proactive punch than many “healthy” foods. For example, it has 8 times the antioxidants of strawberries. Dark chocolate is in the same healthy category as blueberries and green tea.
Dark chocolate adds a richness and depth of flavor and flavanoids to the diet. Flavanoids have been proven to relax blood pressure, aid cardiovascular health, enhance blood flow and add to healthy cholesterol.
C’mon over to the dark side and enjoy a healthy dose of decadence.
