I just LOVE reading cheerful articles about the bad stuff I eat and drink being good for me.
Beer and wine (in moderate quantities) help your heart.
Chocolate (dark) can lower blood pressure, prevent strokes and act as an antidepressant.
)
Sunlight (despite all those warnings) does boost your mood
Coffee is a major source of antioxidants, helping to prevent cancer and lower the risk of diabetes.
Most cheerful piece of news of all, and my top favourite, doesn't involve eating or drinking. I can get as mad as hell because it's REALLY bad for my heart to bottle it up. Scientists now reckon that getting angry is good (after telling us for centuries to keep a lid on it) as you could EXPLODE from the sheer pressure of holding it back.
Don't you just LOVE when research tells you what you want to hear?

Yes! And all of those things you mentioned are close to my heart (especially the ones about coffee and chocolate). I now happily keep a stash of dark chocolate in my office. Even though I limit myself to about 1/2 oz. per day, it's so unbelievably satisfying.
Hi Patricia, lovely to hear from you.
I really believe if something gives so much pleasure it has to be good for you, no matter what the "experts" say!
