Did You Know?
Dark Chocolate is not only GOOD but Good FOR You . . .
Dark Chocolate has been a favorite of mine since I was
first introduced to it as a child. I only knew I loved it, I didn’t know it was
also good for you. Then several years ago, I learned that chocolate can lower
your blood pressure. Oh holy cow, this is awesome!
Well, goodness gracious! I
also read somewhere that Dark Chocolate can
also keep your mind sharp. It is said to help protect against memory loss as
you get older. Ummm, now I have another good reason eat more dark chocolate.
How cool is that!
I also didn’t know that
eating one or two servings of Dark Chocolate
each week will cut your risk for heart failure by as much as one third. I don’t
know how true this is, but it is interesting information just the same.

Yep, I knew all this about dark chocolate. Do I like it? Sort of. The higher percentage of dark chocolate, the dryer it is. So there is a fine line that I have no idea where it is. So I just eat all chocolate.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I did know this because I LOVE dark chocolate. However, I thought it would be even better if I got the 90% cocoa bar. Ummmm.... bad idea. It was super dry and bitter. I have learned to stick to 78%. Chocolate is good for you, but not the sugar. Still... if it’s dark, it’s gotta be good, right?
ReplyDeleteIt's a known fact tht dark chocolate has health benefits.
ReplyDeleteIf you can tolerate sugarless, bitter chocolate, then you get its benefits; otherwise you also get the calories and that's not good for your diet. Anyway, a small cube now and then is harmless.
I have been aware of this. Now, I don't know how much of a benefit it is, but I do understand that it is benefical. At one point a few years ago, I would have a square or two in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI do love chocolate, it's enjoyable and comforting especially when something isn't going well. I didn't know also that eating chocolate can benefit your heart. That is a very good news.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and healthy and take good care of each other.
Love chocolate, dark chocolate included.
ReplyDeleteYes, dark chocolate does have health benefits.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a square of dark chocolate the 85% if I can get it :)
All the best Jan
Yes, I had heard of all of these benefits. Hopefully, they are true. My husband loves dark chocolate - me, not so much. My migraines do not like any chocolate. UHG!!
