Weathering Winter Foods
The foods that talk to us in the winter tend to be hearty, comforting and are often packed with artery-clogging fat, calories, and sodium. The truth, experts say, is that there really are no "bad" foods. A few bites of even the most fattening food can fit into your diet.
You can have your chocolate and eat it too. That is if it is dark. Pure dark chocolate contains a high ammount of heart healthy antioxidant. Enjoy it with black grapes and wash it down with a beverage containing natural cocoa powder or tea, additional excellent sources of these heart healthy compounds.
