Because its Friday, here’s some sweet news!

On a recent Diary of a CEO interview, world-leading herbalist Dr. Mills shared 5 everyday kitchen items that beat many pharma meds… and guess what made the list? Dark chocolate!

Dr. Mills actually prescribes 50g of 75%+ dark chocolate daily to his patients.

  • Studies show it can improve blood flow within minutes, better than most heart meds for cardiovascular health.
  • In one study, volunteers given cocoa had measurable changes in brain blood flow within an hour.
  • The compounds in dark chocolate cross the blood–brain barrier and protect against cognitive decline.

It’s basically brain and heart medicine… disguised as dessert. :chocolate_bar::beating_heart::brain:

(Just be sure it’s real chocolate, no seed oils or overly processed bars!)

Do you like dark chocolate, and how dark do you go?
