Why chocolates are good for health
Chocolate, exclusively dark chocolate, has numerous benefits. It’s a good source of antioxidants that can protect your cells from destruction. It may also enhance heart health by lowering blood pressure and decreasing the risk of heart disease.
Moreover, Chocolate releases endorphins, the “feel-good” hormones; that’s why it can enhance your mood. Just think of it: balance is important to enjoy these benefits without overeating.
