Sweet! It’s National Chocolate Day 2019 so it’s time to treat yourself to one of the world’s favorite desserts – we know it will make your Monday that much better! Did you know that cacao has been harvested for at least three millennia? The plant is native to Mexico, Central America and Northern South America. Also, research has shown chocolate can lower blood pressure when eaten in moderation, so you can enjoy it guilt-free!
