Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Here is some sweet information for you: dark chocolate has health benefits.

Dark chocolate is made from the cacao bean, which is high in antioxidants, including polyphenols. This group of antioxidants can help to lower the levels of oxidative stress in your body, protecting your cells from damage. This can reduce your risk of inflammation and disease. Polyphenols have been shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular events, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

Remember, a little goes a long way.  Limit your chocolate to 1 oz. per day, and look for chocolate that is 70% or more cacao.
