Indulge in dark chocolate

Plus, dark chocolate is a stellar source of fiber: 2 oz. provides 41% more fiber than a medium sized apple! That’s key since a University of Massachusetts study found people whose diets were high in fiber were 63% less likely to harbor high inflammation levels than those who skimped on the nutrient.
