Dark Chocolate

Natural dark chocolate is packed with antioxidants and phytonutrients that come from cacao beans it is made from. The higher the percentage of cocoa solids, the more antioxidants it contains.

Studies claim that eating a little dark chocolate two or three times each week can help lower blood pressure, improve circulation and help prevent hardening of the arteries. The flavonols in chocolate improve blood vessel function, which in turn improves cognitive function and memory. Chocolate also improves mood, can ease pain, and is full of antioxidants.
