I read an article recently at WebMD that was like music to my ears. Wouldn’t it be the same for you if you saw “Chocolate Lowers Blood Pressure”? Now my blood pressure is a little high, add in the fact that I love chocolate and you’ve captured my interest, not to mention the rest of the worlds.

Here’s the run down. Dark chocolate, not milk or white, is rich in the antioxidant called polyphenols. Sounds real scientific huh? Well this is the same helpful compound found in the fruits and vegetables people with high blood pressure are counseled to eat. This source also says “A chocolate treat may be better than green or black tea at keeping high blood pressure in check.” Can you hear the choir of angels too?

The good news is this article by Jennifer Warner wasn’t presenting this as some magical fix, I feel like she was telling us to have dark chocolate in addition to other polyphenol-rich foods, not instead of. And really, who can argue with that?

Why wait? Try these delectable chocolates from Chocolate Source. Right now you can save 10% off on any purchase over $10.00. Feel guilty buying a box of chocolates for yourself?
