5 Benefits of Eating Dark Chocolate by Josie Riviera


Did you know that dark chocolate is very nutritious? It contains fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, plus other nutrients.

Here are 5 Benefits of Eating Dark Chocolate:  :)



1.  Dark chocolate is a source for antioxidants
2.  Because dark chocolate contains cocoa, it may lower your blood pressure.
3.  Dark chocolate may improve risk factors for heart disease, because cocoa lowers oxidized LDL.
4.  The bioactive compounds in dark chocolate may help to protect your skin from the sun.
5.  High-flavanol cocoa in dark chocolate may improve brain function

Of course, take the above with a grain of salt…or sugar! Avoid consuming large amounts of dark chocolate daily because of the excessive calories.

Besides the above benefits, let’s not forget that chocolate is delicious, especially in February. So go ahead. Indulge!

My Valentine sweet romance, 1-800-CUPID is the first book in my new series, Flipping for You. If you love home decorating and flipping houses, you will enjoy this story.


When the heart flips, there’s no telling where the walls will fall.

 Blurb:
Candee dreams of turning a neglected Victorian home into a haven for disadvantaged children—like the girl she used to be. Except she could lose her dream to a house-flipper looking to make a quick profit.

At first glance, Teddy is certain this house is too far gone to make a good flip prospect. But the more he looks at it—and at Candee—he begins to realize some things, like love, are worth the risk. If only he can convince her they’ll have to start by tearing down some walls…
