Health benefits of dark chocolate

Leave a reply

My daughter and I love to eat dark chocolates so much. Every pay day, hubby tries to bring home some dark chocolates to our delight. The kids could only wish its payday everyday (or that the company would somehow offer structured settlement quote).

Did you know that eating dark chocolate everyday helps those with family history of heart disease and stroke to lower their chances of having the disease, too?

In fact, dark chocolate is one of the cheaper means to prevent heart attack and stroke because of its dietary component.

At least two coconut juice products from the Philippines are said to be selling like hotcakes in the US market.

Buko juice becomes a hit because people are looking for healthier beverage choices and they veer away from carbonated drinks.

This could be a good opportunity for both small and big scale businessmen to promote coconut water here and abroad.

Who knows coconut juice might be another top export commodity like nata de coco that was (or still) in demand in Japan for a period of time.

(Nata de coco is a chewy, translucent, jelly-like substance produced by the bacterial fermentation of coconut water.)

Beside its ability to quench thirst, coconut water is a healthy alternative to favorite sports drink. Coconut water contains high level of electrolytes and potassium that help with body re-hydration after a workout.
