Alright, Most Chiropractic Clinic can't present you a piece of chocolate via the computer, but we do have the power to share some of its advantages with you.

Chocolate and its principal ingredient, cocoa, have advantageous results for your heart, mind and body.

• Cocoa has approximately 4 times higher antioxidant capacity than green tea and twice that of red wine. (2) The anti-oxidant flavanols encountered in cocoa beans lowers cell damage in heart disease and help reduce blood pressure. (4,6)
• Moderate (not too much!) consumption of dark chocolate offers blood pressure lowering effects and anti-inflammatory activity. (3,6)
• The anti-oxidants and the bigger magnesium content in dark chocolate might improve constipation problems and even speed up bowel movements! (2,5) We chiropractors know that constipation when you have back pain isn't good!

These discoveries are why Most Chiropractic Clinic can live with the enjoyment of dark chocolate...in moderation, of course. Mood, memory, brain function, heart, immune system and stress reduction may all benefit as well. (2) Whose day isn't made better with a piece of chocolate?!
