Clinical studies have shown that dark chocolate can help lower blood pressure. Over time, eating one piece of chocolate―the equivalent of 30 calories―every day lowered systolic blood pressure by 2.9 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg). This in turn may lower your risk of stroke or coronary artery disease.
Enjoy 1 to 2 ounces of each day, just be sure to choose dark chocolate that contains at least 70 percent cocoa.
