Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

Health Benefits of Dark Chocolate

A friend of mine shares health tips several times a week via email and one topic in particular is of interest to me. I work with many women who are concerned with their health, weight and well-being and this topic comes up more than once a week. It is especially timing as we just finished the EASTER holiday and with all the news about the health benefits of dark chocolate I am still amazed at how many people avoid it or associate it with guilt….especially women. Read on, ladies, dark chocolate has many health benefits. As with anything, moderation is the key!

Can you resist a yummy piece of chocolate? And what if you found out by fact, that it is not only good for you but has many healthy and long lasting health benefits? Would you like that? Would that free you from your guilty chocolate indulgences? Perhaps even, when you have cravings it IS because your body is craving some of these nutrients and minerals.

Food scientists all over the world suggest that dark chocolate contains all the necessary compounds and minerals to prevent major chronic heart condition and disorders. The beneficial compounds, flavonoids are present in both raw and processed state of the dark chocolate.

Now, that might come as a surprise to more than half of the world’s population! You might have already heard how a bit of chocolate can actually be good for your heart and here we are not talking about the processed milk chocolate with added sugar. We are talking about the raw dark chocolate, the bitter, less sweet cousin of chocolate that most of us know.

Going back in history we can see that the key ingredient cacao, native to the Americas, has a rich source of some of the most vital nutrients. As with everything, moderation is the key, but check out some of the many health benefits of eating dark chocolate – even daily.

some of my personal favorites

A great source of dark chocolate can be purchased here in my home town of Burlington Vermont, from a company called Lake Champlain Chocolates. (www.lakechamlainchocolates.com) If you are a fan of dark organic chocolate and enjoy smoothies or meal replacement shakes the best by far that I have ever come across is a product called THUNDER. https://www.poweredbyforevergreen.org/shop/catalog.aspx?ck=JL21Y9lr2M5VZewyyV0yqS3LdfHbBLhoJCdagONkbP2dL%2bjnGPCuXSoOQnsEvZ0bgXYCa62kg883O5mJMhehaA%3d%3d
