Is Chocolate Healthy?

Well, who says that everything that tastes good has to be bad for you. A lot of research backs up the wonderful claim that moderate amounts of dark chocolate are good for most people. By moderate, I do not mean you can gobble down your whole giant valentine shaped box of chocolates. But if you can just allow yourself a couple of pieces a day, you probably are not doing any harm – and may be doing good!

Benefits of Eating Chocolate

Here are some of the established health benefits of dark chocolate.

1. More antioxidants than berries.
2. Helps elevate mood.
3. Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure.
4. Tastes good!

Now we all know that many chocolate desserts contain a lot of fat and calories, so it is important to eat it in a moderate amount. Many experts suggest eating half a small candy bar or a few pieces. Also keep in mind that most studies have been done on dark chocolate, and some experts say that the milk in light chocolate may actually interfere with the antioxidant benefit.
