Cynthia Sass: There’s a lot of good news about dark chocolate these days, it contains natural substances that help control your insulin levels and relax your blood vessels which keeps your blood pressure well. It’s also chalkful of tons of minerals, including copper, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron. A serving is a quarter cup, which is about the size of a golf ball. Now you can melt that and drizzle it over fresh fruit stir it into your greek yoghurt or even add it into your morning oatmeal, or you can savor them one at a time letting each one melt in your mouth. If you wanted to last a little bit longer, look for the mini-semi sweet chips. For more information on Mufa and flat belly foods, go to prevention.com/mufa.
