Why is it most of the time the medicine we need tastes terrible? Wouldn’t it be amazing, if just for once it was actually something we tend to love to eat?
It turns out that a piece of dark chocolate has health benefits and for a chocolate lover like myself this is great news. Now, it appears the chocolate has to be dark so look for ones with at least 70 percent cocoa solids.
At first, I did not like this real dark chocolate as well, but now I actually like it better than regular milk chocolate. I believe the secret is not to get carried away – eat only a small amount. I like to have a small piece of dark chocolate every day (about 20 calories), and it is a kind of little treat I enjoy. A whole chocolate bar with its 200 plus calories load is definitely a poor idea. With a tiny piece one doesn’t need to feel guilty — after all it good for my blood pressure!
Did it lower my blood pressure? It seemed to, although perhaps the benefit was more psychological and had less to do with all the plant flavonoids. Regardless, gods live forever don’t they, maybe chocolate, “food of the gods”, was their secret.

okay. If having a small piece of dark chocolate will help with the lowering of blood pressure I am willing to try anything. Do you know of any other natural ways helping high blood pressure.
After reading at least 8 Natural healling books I found the authors disagree on a lot of things. I have taken the advice they all agree on and would like to share. I have stopped using half my medicine for I walk 40 minutes 4 times a week. I lift light weights 3 times a week. Push ups and setups 3 times a week. Eat small piece of dark chocolate every day. Drink two ounces Pomegranate juice daily,snack on celery,eat salmon or fish twice a week,take fish oil once a day,eat one apple,one orange, and one bannana every day ,added beans twice a week,stop using salt and look for low salt foods,cut back on sugar 50%,drink 8 oz low sodium tomato juice 2 or 3 times a week, drink more water to help thin blood,eat more vegestables with meals,eat more berries and dark fruit. I plan on purchasing a resperate soon. Put all this together and your blood pressure will drop! Supplements did not lower my blood pressure,garlic did not lower my pressure. Jerry cooke
