Ok, Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can't give you a piece of chocolate via the computer, but we are able to share some of its benefits with you.

Chocolate and its central ingredient, cocoa, have advantageous effects for your heart, mind and body.

• Cocoa has around 4 times greater antioxidant capacity than green tea and twice that of red wine. (2) The anti-oxidant flavanols encountered in cocoa beans decreases cell damage in heart disease and help lower blood pressure. (4,6)
• Moderate (not overly indulgent!) consumption of dark chocolate offers blood pressure lowering effects and anti-inflammatory activity. (3,6)
• The anti-oxidants and the larger magnesium content in dark chocolate may improve constipation trouble and even speed up bowel movements! (2,5) We chiropractors know that constipation when you have back pain isn't good!

These discoveries are why Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation can accept the enjoyment of dark chocolate...in moderation, of course. Mood, memory, brain function, heart, immune system and stress reduction may all benefit as well. (2) Whose day isn't cheered with a piece of chocolate?!
