I am just surprised why there are lots of myths about chocolates. One is - it is the cause of high blood pressure. I have been a chocolate drinker for such a long time now and I have a low to normal blood pressure to take pride. I just noticed that people here in Davao are avid soft drinks addict. And I am mightily amazed too that some whom I know personally even drink it with their breakfast. Well of course everyone knows how the acid in these soft drinks works inside our stomach but nevertheless it just gives some people the perk. I won't take that chance.
I have taught myself to be friendly with my stomach for some time now. I am not getting younger so I think I also have to think of my vital organs' wellness. Dark chocolates just happen to have high contents of flavonoids that helps relax our blood pressure and balance certain hormones in our body.
In such a dry city like Davao, I get tempted to drink cold soft drinks most often too, but I welcome the sweat that brings out the toxins in me when I drink my hot chocolate drink. Have to delay some gratifications! No pain and sweat equals no glory!
I'd rather have that for my stomach than a glass of softdrinks!
