If you are a confirmed chocoholic and you are looking for another great reason to enjoy your favourite chocolate treat guilt free, then read on!

It appears that eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate benefits health in many ways. In fact, chocolate is now considered an anti-aging, anti-inflammatory “superfood” for the brain and body. The right kinds of chocolate (the dark 70% + cacao varieties), consumed regularly, can help keep your cardiovascular system pumping, your mind sharp and alert, and your mood calm and happy.
