There's one bit of bright news in a world struggling to defeat the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
According to CNN, a study from Houston's Baylor College of Medicine has shown that eating dark chocolate actually helps the heart.
The study found eating chocolate more than once a week was associated with an 8% decreased risk of coronary artery disease.
Containing less sugar and fat than milk or white chocolate, the healthiest choice is likely dark chocolate candy or bars, and Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
Chocolate helps keep plaque from building up in blood vessels and reduces blood pressure. It's also been shown to help prevent stroke and heart failure.
Chocolate also improves blood flow to the brain, which may help with cognitive function. It might even boost oxygen delivery during fitness training.
Alas, it doesn't appear to be so good for the skin -- a recent study found a link to acne.
