10. Dark chocolate
A lot of guilt sometimes comes with eating chocolate but you don’t need to feel that way especially if you’re eating dark chocolate. It actually helps in lowering your cholesterol levels. However, before you start to indulge, understand that often times, chocolate is packed with plenty of sugar that could counter the benefits of this same dark chocolate. Make sure you stick to 75% to 85% of cocoa as this will reduce the bad cholesterol by about 6.5mg/dl.
