How Chocolate Can Accelerate Your Business and Protect Your Health

Whether you have a home based business, a store front, or you work for someone else, you care about the bottom line financially.  Hearing that chocolate is a possible success factor, you have to pay attention.

Recent articles have been heralding chocolate for a number of positive attributes, many of which affect our health, which ultimately affects work output and financial gain.

The latest findings from the University of California-San Diego found that the body mass index of those who ate dark chocolate five times a week, compared with those who didn't eat it regularly, was one point lower.  It seems that those who eat moderate amounts of chocolate regularly are thinner than those who don't.


So how does that go together with the fact that 66 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese?  With the average chocolate bar containing about 200 calories, will these findings encourage people to gobble up chocolate bars daily and create even more obesity? 

And what does that have to do with business anyway?  Well, extra pounds create greater stress on a person's heart.  A study from the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, found that of 100,000 people, those who ate dark chocolate regularly reduced their risk of heart disease by a third.

Extra weight also wears down the joints and taps a person's energy.  That ultimately affects the bottom line in business.  Healthy people have a greater chance to be more productive throughout the day and are not sitting at home on disability payments.


The emphasis is on dark chocolate if you are dedicated to making healthy choices.  Cocoa is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which are anti-inflammatory, can lower blood pressure and even improve overall vascular function.


I've always preferred milk chocolate, but I'm off to the store now to look for some dark chocolate to add to my health regime.  That would be just a few pieces a day for my overall health and to benefit our business.  


Of course, I get flavonoids from my USANA supplements as well, expecially from Proflavonal C 100.
