The Best Things You Can Do for Your Heart

Eating healthily is important, but don’t worry — there is some room for chocolate! Just make sure you choose the right type. Some chocolate — the dark variety that’s been minimally processed — can be good for heart health. Why? Because the cocoa bean is rich in flavonoids. Flavonoids help protect plants from environmental toxins and repair damage. When you eat foods rich in flavonoids, you may also benefit from this antioxidant power.
