Healthy Valentines Eat Dark Chocolate!

Healthy Valentines Eat Dark Chocolate! This month when buying your special Valentine some chocolate, go for the dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate and give them a higher dose of healthy nutrients along with your love. Dark chocolate will have higher concentrations of cocoa powder and lower levels of processed sugar than the milk chocolate option. Even though the concentrations of powerful antioxidants and minerals like magnesium are highest in the raw, unprocessed cacao bean, the higher the percent of dark chocolate you go, the closer you are to the raw form.
