Did you know?!! Dark Chocolate is known to have qualities that will lower your blood pressure!

As a lover of Dark Chocolate, and as someone who has battled high blood pressure for years, I can say that I am a happy man to hear the news.

If you're not sure where you are with your blood pressure levels, you really need to have it checked regularly by a professional. Even though I own a blood pressure machine that I purchased at Walgreens, I do know that there is no replacement for the always accurate sphygmomanometer (that's okay, I can't pronounce it either) that your physician uses.

The normal levels for your blood pressure are 120 over 80. The larger number is systolic, and the number is diastolic--think of expansion and contraction.

Take a moment and check out this neat little article that'll have you running to the candy store for some sweet relief: Dark Chocolate and Blood Pressure
