A new study by the American Heart Association says dark chocolate can lower your blood pressure.
Flavonoids, found in dark chocolate, can help the blood vessels work more smoothly.
More benefits of dark chocolate: Eating dark chocolate also seemed to improve how the body used insulin, and reduced low density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol by about 10 percent on average.
Too bad it's not milk chocolate..yummy!! :)
