Hi Friend,
Last time we talked about dark chocolate, and how this tasty treat can help trigger muscle growth. But how much chocolate do you need to eat to enjoy these muscle building benefits? Well, before you go clearing your candy shop's shelves, the amount of chocolate you need is less than you might think.

So what's the number? The latest research into natural remedies for high blood pressure provides us with a useful guide.
Dr Karin Ried is the Program Manager of the PHCRED (Primary Health Care Research Evaluation & Development) program at the University of Adelaide in Australia.
Together with her science team, she combined the results of 15 other studies looking at chocolate and cocoa between 1955 and 2009 covering hundreds of people. What did they discover?
Research showed that people who eat just one bar of chocolate a week are up to 22% less likely to suffer a stroke - these results revealed a 5mm drop in systolic pressure which is comparable to the known effects of 30 daily minutes of moderate physical activity such as brisk walking or swimming.
While Dr. Ried said it will take more research to discover the optimal amount of chocolate that was needed to lower high blood pressure naturally, just one chunk (6g) to a whole bar (100g) a day could have a significant impact on hypertension and your heart attack risk.
These findings are important. Why? Because they show how a moderate serving of chocolate not only triggers muscle growth, but helps protect your heart too.
So if you're searching for a simple way to boost your muscle building and safeguard your heart, why not give this tasty treat a try?
