Whoooops, almost missed Chocolate Friday! I've had a busybusy day, which started out badly, as I was out of coffee. But GloryThanksBeToDog, my grocery store has just opened a coffee shop, complete with espresso, biscotti, muffins, and comfy couches. I thought about just planting myself there for the rest of the day, but I had things to do, people to see, calls to make and muffins to bake. So I bought myself a superdoopergrande latte and went on about my shopping.
ANYway, so now, here I am at the END of the day, finally getting 'round to ChocoFriday stuff. This week, some articles on ways that chocolate is good for you. A German chemist in the 1800s said, "Chocolate is a perfect food, as wholesome as it is delicious, a beneficent restorer of exhausted power." Smart man.
First, the benefits of dark chocolate...
- Eating dark chocolate may lower blood pressure
- Researches find dark chocolate may help curb smoking addiction - if only I still smoked!
- Dark Chocolate Helps Diarrhea: Study Confirms Ancient Myth
And ...
- Chocolate could improve health - you can't say enough good stuff about chocolate for me!
- A great sports drink? It's chocolate milk! - I don't think this will ever fly. It's not the energy renewal or nutrients at issue here. It's the ... hmmm, scuse me here ... it's the phlegm. You don't want something coating your throat when you're breathing hard.
Stock up on chocolate, it's good for you!
Yes - choco is one of the best for good nerve.R
