Contrary to popular belief, chocolate can be extremely healthy, especially for your heart! However, this healthy fact only refers to dark chocolate and raw cocoa chocolate. While milk chocolate is best avoided because it is packed with sugar, dark chocolate and raw cocoa chocolate contains a rich source of flavonoids. Flavonoids are antioxidants that can beneficially lower blood pressure and encourage healthy heart functions. Still, keep in mind that most chocolates contain high amounts of sugar (even the dark, and healthier options!) so again, moderation is key here! Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that enjoying a diet of red wine and dark chocolate would provide double the benefits for your heart.
