Like most people, I enjoy chocolate. Noshing on a Snicker’s bar or a Hershey’s Kiss in between meals gives me a few joyful moments of bliss – but in the back of my mind, I’m well aware that what I’m doing is bad for my health. The empty calories, the unnecessary grams of fat that I’m adding to my already ample frame, and the mounds of sugar all add up to a delicious - but ultimately dangerous - treat.
But for fans of dark chocolate, there may be some good news. According to an article at www.immunesupport.com about chocolate and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, dark chocolate could have some health benefits - including reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, helping maintain healthy blood pressure and promoting blood flow, helping boost energy, decreasing anxiety and reducing pain. Everything in moderation, of course, but perhaps you should thinking about reaching for a piece of dark chocolate instead of milk or white next time…
