Health Benefits Of Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is high in minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc, and it contains complex compounds like anti-oxidants and phenols that may fight aging, improve blood flow and help cholesterol levels.

The darker the chocolate, the better: look for products that are labeled "% Cacao" or simply "%".

All chocolate is still high in calories, so enjoy in moderation. Aim for the highest % cacao that still tastes good to you. Eating high quality chocolate may even shift your preferences over time, so keep testing the waters to find your favorites!
