Chocolate - Fatigue Fighter
Sunday, January 07, 2007
2006 was an excellent year for Dark Chocolate. Studies concluded that dark chocolate, with it's high levels of polyphenols and flavanols, is actually good for you. Another recent study has shown dark chocolate to fight fatigue. According to UK researchers, a small piece of dark chocolate on a daily basis, can help with the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS).
Who doesn't love eating chocolate and now that it's a heart healthy food and helps fight fatigue, why deprive yourself. Obviously this doesn't mean to hit the vending machine with a pocket full of quarters and think that your doing yourself a favor. No, as usual, moderation is important.
I think I'm going to try adding a small piece of organic dark chocolate (I've seen it at Trader Joe's) as an after dinner snack.
