Eat More Chocolate


Did you know that research suggests that dark chocolate eaten in moderate amounts weekly is associated with improved cardiovascular fitness in women.

A new study offers this explanation — The polyphenols in dark chocolate may help maintain higher “good” cholesterol levels and lower “bad” cholesterol levels according to findings published in the February issue of Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, published by the American Chemical Society.

The researchers write, “As cholesterol metabolism is known to be regulated by several different mechanisms, it is possible that cacao polyphenols may act on multiple pathways as a regulatory receptor agonist or ligand, similar to other plant polyphenols.”

Personally, I choose to indulge in a very special dark chocolate that helps boost your “feel good” chemicals, which can also help to reduce cravings. It also contains a special blend of green tea, B Vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, which support positive mood and optimal mental energy.
