One study found cocoa reduced risk of death from heart disease by 50 percent over 15 years.

Mixing it with almonds can help even more in terms of improving those bad cholesterol levels.

Studies show that the antioxidants found in the dark chocolate work to provide benefits that result from a daily dose of a square or two. In fact, studies show that chocolate is rich in flavonoids, right alongside veggies like broccoli and spinach, and fruits like blueberries and cranberries, which also contain flavonol.
