~Chocolate can help you live
longer~

Chocolate has antioxidants
that can protect you against
heart disease. Dark
chocolate has 8 times the
amount of antioxidants
than strawberries. The
flavonoids help relax blood
pressure by producing nitric
oxide.

A small bar of dark
chocolate every day can
help lower your blood
pressure and cholesterol.

Chocolate also has
serotonin which acts as an
antidepressant.
Also, while chocolate has
fat, most of the fat in
chocolate does not impact
your cholesterol. Chocolate
is still high-calorie and
high-fat, so you need to eat
in moderation. You don't
need more than about 3.5
ounces of chocolate to
receive the benefits.

If you want to eat chocolate
to improve your health, eat
dark chocolate because it
has the most antioxidants,
don't eat too much of it,
and don't eat it with milk.

Milk can prevent your body
from processing the
antioxidants.
