A Delicious Life

According to some recent studies, cocoa has been found to help reduce the risk to diseases such as stroke and heart failure.

But don’t think that you can just start eating all the chocolate you want. Many processes chocolate bars remove the flavanols - the chemicals that provide the benefit - and add in fat and sugar. To get the health benefit, your chocolate should be 70% cacao or higher. Better yet, go for raw cacao nibs to get the most benefit.
