Fun fact: Chocolate can actually improve cardiovascular health, according to the Northwest Health Sciences University. Chocolate contains cocoa which has antioxidants that help protect the cardiovascular system. The antioxidants help lower blood pressure and help reduce deaths related to cardiovascular disease.
