A. Dear chocoholic sister, you are definitely on to something. There are powerful flavonels (antioxidants) in dark chocolate that can improve your health inside and out. The flavonols are both heart-healthy and skin-healthy. Talk about perfect super food.
Still, you can’t eat just a steady diet of dark chocolate. A little bit each day is all you need and the darker the better. Choose organic dark chocolate bars with at least 70% cacao in them and eat an ounce a day. Or use dark chocolate cocoa powder to make yourself a decadent hot chocolate.
Whether you eat or drink your dark chocolate, isn’t wonderful to know that you can have you chocolate and eat it, too, guilt-free every day!
