Chocolate Energy

Ok girls, this one is for you!  Look what I read today in Allure Magazine while I was at the salon:

"Eating small amounts of dark chocolate may boost physical endurance".

Here's the article for ya:  CHOCOLATE ENERGY 


To summarize...
There was a study conducted with mice as the subjects.  The mice that were fed dark chocolate twice daily for 15 days ran farther than the mice that received a placebo!  Ha!  "Very similar effects" were found in a study with humans as the subjects.  Here's my favorite part...there's a catch:  If you eat too much, the effects disappear.  Talk about portion control! Wahoo!  The optimal daily dose can be found in a 5 gram piece of dark chocolate, mmmm!


Another reason to love dark chocolate :)
