I just read an article from Inquirer that dark chocolates are good for pregnant women. It is said to be healthy and protects us from possible high blood pressure problems, giving a less chance or lower risk of contracting preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a medical condition where hypertension arises in pregnancy in association with significant amounts of protein in the urine. It is shown in study that the darker the chocolate is the better for us to eat. Why? According to studies, (Wikipedia), chocolates contain theobromine which is now used as a vasolidator (a blood vessel widener), an aid in urinating, and heart stimulant. Other chemicals include magnesium, which lowers hypertension, and flavanoids, which are potent antioxidants. Let's eat a good quality dark chocolate everyday!
As I'd always say, it is always best to seek the expert's advise.
