Valentine’s Day is in a few days and for many that means chocolate candy for our loved ones. If you have a loved one watching their health, try dark chocolate this Valentine’s Day. Dark chocolate containing at least 70% or more cacao content contains higher levels of flavenoids which have been shown to be heart-healthy by lowering incidence of hypertension, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases.
Remember that chocolate also contains fat and sugar that aren’t so heart-healthy, so when choosing to consume any chocolate, we still want to do so in moderation.
