What’s your favourite, dark and bitter or milky and sweet? Whichever, there is nothing like chocolate to make a bad day much better!

As we know, Britain is a nation of chocaholics and we spend more than £3.5 billion a year on the lovely choccy stuff, which is way more than any other European country.

Now experts have confirmed that chocolate truly is good for our health (well the dark stuff anyway). According to Swedish scientists, people who eat chocolate after a heart attack may be less likely to have another heart attack. Chocolate boosts brain power and lifts depression too.

Nestle were asked to bring back Black Magic by the dark chocolate fans, so, after two years away from the shelves, Nestle brought back Black Magic!

The best dark chocolate has the highest percent of cocoa, so 70%, or even better 85% and dark chocolate has around 40 less calories per 100g than milk chocolate. It is full of antioxidants and anti-coagulants which make the blood flow more freely and help fight conditions that can lead to heart problems.

Dark chocolate can reduce cholesterol, cutting it by up to 10% and it also reduces the risk of blood clots by upto 75%.

It’s a myth that eating chocolate is addictive and causes spots. It’s more likely that hormones or general bad diet are to blame.

So, go on – give it a go, try a good, high cocoa content, dark chocolate and make yourself feel truly better!
