A Dark Chocolate a Day For Health

I remember my first marriage. One of our biggest arguments was over chocolate. I didn't mind it on occasion, but a steady diet of the same didn't seem very healthy to me.

Today?

Well, today I eat a dark chocolate a day with pleasure.

Truth be known, I actually eat 3 dark chocolates a day, and sometimes more, with joy.

Have I become a junk food junky?

Have I thrown caution to the wind?

Have I stopped "giving a care"?

Certainly not! To be honest, I believe I am healthier today than ever before in my life and I owe a great deal of that to the steady diet of dark chocolate I consume.

Actually, the benefits of chocolate are in the news on a regular basis. However, even these fine morsels contain waxes and fillers that are simply not good for the body. Not to mention the taste. I ate a piece of one the other day and felt like a wax candle would have actually tasted better. Yikes.

So as you can see, I must be forcing myself to endure disgusting unpleasant food that someone somewhere decided to label, as chocolate while it most definitely is not.

Actually, not really! Not at all, as a matter of fact.

Reports I here from others are anywhere from "this tastes like true European chocolate" to "It's deliciously rich." However you care to define it, the healthy chocolate I eat these days is a pure delight and it stops cravings too.

I know. I know.

Your brain is shouting out. "It's chocolate; it must be bad for you."

Nonetheless, you can indeed eat chocolate and live a healthy life. You might actually find it's just what the doctor ordered. Eat a dark chocolate a day, or two or three. Yummy.
