Dark chocolate
Dark chocolate isn’t only incredibly tasty, but also very nutritious. It is very high in magnesium, with 65 mg in a 1-ounce or 28-gram serving, which already is around 15% of the recommended daily value. Dark chocolate is also rich in iron, copper, and manganese, and has prebiotic fiber that is helpful to beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Even more, it is loaded with good antioxidants, which are nutrients that neutralize free radicals, which are bad molecules that can easily damage our cells and lead to disease. Dark chocolate is even more beneficial for heart health because it has flavonols, which are very powerful antioxidant compounds that forbid LDL (bad) cholesterol from oxidizing and sticking to the cells that line our arteries.
If you want to profit as much as you can from its benefits, you should choose a product that has a minimum of 70% cocoa solids. A higher percentage would be even better.
