European researchers reported those who included as little as a small square (7.5 gms) of chocolate daily had lower blood pressure and were 38% less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than those who rarely ate chocolate.

Chocolate, especially Dark Chocolate, 60% or higher is teeming with potent antioxidants called flavanols.  Flavanols work their magic by improving the function of the cells that line arteries. This provides numerous benefits including lower blood pressure and better blood flow.

So what’s stopping you? Grab a nibble of chocolate for today, and tomorrow too.
