For you chocolate lovers, Runners World Magazine this month had a nice article about how healthy cocoa is for you. It is full of antioxidant chemicals called phenols and flavinoids that help recovery after workouts, and guard against heart disease and cancer. Cocoa is more than two times better than red wine or green tea. So on these cold winter days, brew yourself a cup and know there are good things in it for you. Two teaspoons full of unsweetened cocoa, a few drops of stevia and organic raw milk for a healthful treat. Enjoy! - David I. Minkoff, MD
