Your Health Today

Need another shameless reason to eat some chocolate? I’ve got one for you!

Do you have slightly high blood pressure? If so, good news…Eat 1 square of dark chocolate a day, and you can reduce your blood pressure by 2-3 mmHg!

How cool is that! Need proof?

My good stumble friend, slantera, shared this page with me:

Dark chocolate ‘can ease blood pressure’

I don’t have high blood pressure at all, but for “preventative” purposes, I think I will just “have to” partake in this health measure! You know…wink, wink…just in case!

I hope you enjoyed this Blood Pressure post on Your Health Today! Until next time…
