Dark Chocolate
Why It's Healthy:
• Just one-fourth of an ounce daily can reduce blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals.
• Cocoa powder is rich in flavonoids, antioxidants shown to reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase "good" HDL levels.
Quick Tip:
A dark chocolate bar contains about 53.5 milligrams of flavonoids; a milk chocolate bar has fewer than 14.
