Dark chocolate is a rich source of antioxidants and minerals, and it generally contains less sugar than milk
chocolate. Some research suggests that
dark chocolate may help lower the risk of heart disease, reduce inflammation and insulin resistance, and improve brain function.
When you're choosing
dark chocolate, look for bars that have a cocoa content of 70% or higher. Higher-percentage
dark chocolate contains a higher concentration of antioxidants and nutrients compared to
chocolate with a lower cocoa percentage.
