Lee also shared the main reasons why chocolate is good for you, including the fact that it’s full of antioxidants that reduce physical inflammation, can aid weight loss, and improve your sleep.
He told me, “Chocolate provides a rich source of antioxidants, which can be protective against damage to the lining of the arteries, improving circulation and lowering blood pressure.”
