Chocolate for your Valentine

Dark chocolate has a sensual mouth feel and is loaded with phytonutrients called flavonoids. These flavonoids may have anti-inflammatory effects in the body that can lower C-reactive protein (CRP) found in the blood that is tied to inflammation and heart disease. Recent studies out of Johns Hopkins found that eating dark flavonoid rich chocolate lowered the CRP level in women by 23% and improved lipid profiles in both men and women.
