In small doses, chocolate can serve as a powerful antioxidant. Compared to milk chocolate, dark chocolate has three times more antioxidants. This can help keep arteries from clogging, as well as increasing HDL cholesterol levels by up to 24%, according to research Tokyo's Ochanomizu University.

You can get creative with your chocolate instead of just eating a regular ol' candy bar. Chocolate tastes great when grated or shaved over a bowl of yogurt, pudding, or fruit slices. Plus, you'll feel a little extra special when eating it.
