Another star for dark chocolate! Study after study seems to show the important health benefits of dark chocolate. Now this isn’t a ticket to go ahead and eat chocolate bar after chocolate bar. However, a small amount of dark chocolate, two tablespoons each day, seems to have an aspirin like effect on the blood. The chemical in cocoa beans has a biochemical effect similar to aspirin in reducing platelet clumping, which can be fatal if a clot forms and blocks a blood vessel, causing a heart attack.

Once again, it is important to stress small portions of chocolate. If large daily portions are eaten its health benefits go south from the increase weight gain, and high saturated fat consumption.

Please note: eating small amounts of dark chocolate is only one healthy habit. It is wise to combine numerous healthy habits all together to reap fantastic health and longevity results.
