Many folks just think of chocolate as candy but the cacao powder (from which chocolate is made) is actually a plant-based food containing magnesium, copper, zinc and iron. It also contains polyphenols, which are a type of photochemicals that are high in antioxidant properties. These properties can actually help give your body extra ammunition in fighting off some diseases, particularly some of those associated with heart health. This info may be news to many of us, but surprisingly the medicinal powers of chocolate date back thousands of years.
