A Great Reason to Drink Cocoa

"A new study from the Yale School of Medicine found that people who sipped 2 cups of sugar-free cocoa daily improved blood flow by 5% and cut their blood pressure by 3-4 points, which can lower their cardiovascular disease risk. Skip packets with added sugar; the sweetener raises insulin and restricts blood flow, say researchers, limiting the benefits you'd get from the antioxidants in cocoa."
