Healthy Dark Chocolate Slice
Dark chocolate was known by the Mayan civilisation as "the food of the Gods"!Recently, evidence has shown that dark chocolate (90%) helps to improve the cardiovascular system health.In fact, a recent Meta-analysis (that's the gold standard of scientific clinical trials) found that consuming 20g of 90% dark chocolate per day over a period of a month improves blood pressure, insulin resistance, vessel health and platelet function.
