 Here's news that’s hard not to like. Eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day is good for you; find Mary Engler, PhD, RN, of the University of California, San Francisco and colleagues.
"Not all chocolate is created equal. Dark chocolate contains a lot more cocoa than other forms of chocolate. There are studies which show dark chocolate is a heart healthy food. Now a new study indicates chocolate can improve blood flow to the brain and perhaps improve learning and memory.
Sure this seems like a scam. Can’t you get more and better flavonoids from other foods? Surprisingly, the answer is "not really." Recent studies show that dark chocolate contains more flavonoids than any other food – including green tea, black tea, red wine, and blueberries.
Many people don’t realize that chocolate is plant-derived, as are the fruits and vegetables recommended for a healthy heart," Engler says.
Jagielky's has created a 70 percent cocoa blend of dark chocolate covering over pistachios, almonds, cranberries, cashews, filberts, Virginia peanuts and mixed nuts. "Not only do these products taste good, they are good for you," says owner Mike Carr. "Now you can eat chocolate, enjoy in moderation and not feel guilty."
What food evokes as much passion as chocolate? In ancient times it was called the "food of the gods" and today it is always a great gift for every occasion. It’s perfect for romantic evenings, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays and every holiday.
Come in to Jagielky's today and sample our new 70 percent cocoa blend of dark chocolate. Take some home for yourself and your special someone. |
