Guilt-Free Heart-Healthy Desserts: Yes, Please!

Chocolate has a bad rap, but did you know dark chocolate and raw cocoa powder can actually be good for your heart? A 2018 study published in Nutrients reviewed seven studies and found that eating dark chocolate regularly reduces the risk of strokes.

Another major study of over 500,000 people concluded that eating more chocolate lowers your risk of diabetes, strokes, and heart problems. For maximum benefits, go for dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or more, or use raw cocoa powder in smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt.
