Chocolate: an excuse to enjoy

"A new review of previously published studies adds weight to the claim that chocolate is good for the heart.
Taken together, five of seven studies included in the review linked high chocolate consumption with a 37 percent reduction in cardiovascular disease risk, a 31 percent reduction in diabetes risk and a 29 percent reduction in stroke risk when compared to low chocolate consumption." Katie Moisse, ABC News.

What good news for those of us who love chocolate.  My favorite is dark chocolate covered almonds.  Yum!  It is good to find helpful and healthy ways to help us deal with the stress of caregiving, and to support our own well being.  So, I will hold up a dark chocolate covered almond in salute to you all.
