Heart-Healthy Chocolate?

How can you help lower your parent's blood pressure and put a smile on her face? Give her a small square of dark chocolate every day. In the July 4 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found reason to celebrate, reporting that 30 calories of dark chocolate eaten daily for 18 weeks significantly decreased blood pressure. For the greatest benefit, look for chocolate with a cocoa content greater than 50 percent. Of course, if your parent has diabetes or other serious health problems, check with her doctor before adding chocolate to her diet.
