Chocolate causes the release of endorphins in the body. These are substances which make you feel happier. They reduce the risk of heart attacks and boost immunity. Nevertheless, mind your calories!

I know that Dark chocolate is good for you in small amounts. But nothing makes me feel better than sitting down with a big glass of mike and a slice of warm chocolate cake.

Here's news that's hard not to like. Eating a small, 1.6-ounce bar of dark chocolate every day is good for you. Very good for you, find Mary Engler, PhD, RN, of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues.
Now here is a medical experiment you would love to volunteer for. Engler's team divided 21 healthy adults into two groups. One group got a Dove Dark Chocolate bar every day for two weeks. Like other dark chocolate bars with high-cocoa content, this one is loaded with something called epicatechin. Epicatechin is a particularly active member of a group of compounds called plant flavoniods. Flavoniods keep cholesterol from gathering in blood vessels, reduce the risk of blood clots, and slow down the immune responses that lead to clogged arteries.
Lowering your weight and doing more exercise can go a long way to treating high blood pressure.
