Time to Enjoy That Left-Over Chocolate!

While holiday eating can add unwanted weight, it is also pleasurable - and may even have some benefits. If you're a fan of chocolate, consider the news about benefits for aging blood vessels. The theobromine in chocolate also acts in a manner similar to caffeine and may serve as an ergogenic aid as well! Of course, you have to consider chocolate in the context of your entire diet - including factoring in the fat and calories. If you're still game and you didn't score much chocolate over the holidays, try Daffin's Candies - an athlete brought me a sample - well, OK, more than a sample - and it is wonderful!
