As far as I am concerned,
dark chocolate is medicinal. It’s soo
good for you that you just NEED to consume it.
Seriously!
The website www.allchocolate.com states:
“Studies show that eating
chocolate, primarily dark chocolate, may contribute to improved cardiovascular
health. Packed with natural
antioxidants, dark chocolate and cocoa sit in the same good-for-you category as
green tea and blueberries. That’s
because chocolate comes from cacao beans (or cocoa beans), which grow on the
cacao tree and are full of natural plant nutrients. Most of the studies to date highlight dark
chocolate’s health values because it has the highest percentage of cocoa
solids, therefore more flavanol antioxidants.”
After reading this wonderful declaration
by people who clearly understand the importance of dark chocolate…I asked
myself (yes, outloud), “What are flavanol antioxidants?” A quick Google search and I discovered they
contain anti-aging benefits AND they help reduce effects of sun sensitivity.
Soooo what do I propose? I, Angie Good, suggest that atleast once
weekly, we embrace the benefits of dark chocolate and consume happily.
I embraced the flavanols and
other antioxidants by purchasing a Dove Dark Chocolate bar. And because I am an enabler, I bought one for
my crafty co-worker. I would hate to be
the only one in the department to enjoy dark chocolate’s benefits. Seems kinda selfish when you don’t share,
right?
