Want to lower your blood pressure? A recent post on NPR's Salt blog reported, "Daily Dose Of Dark Chocolate May Help Lower Blood Pressure." It was a small decrease but since they compared it to the decrease you can have from meditation, I decided that combining the two could be great.
With a little research I found, "The Chocolate Meditation -Time to Meditate while eating a bar of chocolate…" It was a report on the topic in Psychology Today by Danny Penman, Ph.D. He even provides a guide for completing a choclate meditation that sounds relaxing and delicious.
Yes, I realize that the researchers were talking about a simplier, less caloric form of chocolate than those in our photos. But, if you don't have a simple chocolate handy, you can sit quietly and think deeply about the flavors shown here.
