OKAY, I ADMIT, CHOCOLATE ISN'T FIRST ON THE LIST OF FOODS THAT BENEFIT THE BRAIN, HOWEVER, I MAY HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW!  THIS SECTION IS ALL ABOUT THE FOODS THAT CAN IMPROVE YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR OVERALL HEALTH... SO, LET'S GET GOING!!! 

DARK CHOCOLATE

"The Power of Chocolate" book suggests using 100% cocoa and believe it or not, it doesn't take very much honey to sweeten it.  I LOVE dark chocolate so the first time I made it, I filled a wide mouth pint jar, three-fourth full of cocoa powder because I wanted to have enough room to stir it so I only put a couple of tablespoons of honey in it.  I was amazed how sweet it was.  The best part is that both ingredients provide so many good health benefits.  I have no guilt taking two tablespoons a day.  They actually recommend taking three tablespoon per day.  It seems like a lot to me so I take my first spoonful around noon and the second one at bedtime.  It certainly satisfies the sweet tooth!   NOTE:  Before I learned about this mixture, I learned that a couple of teaspoons of honey was excellent in helping me to go to sleep.  It was like a miracle!  So, now I take one tablespoon of the cocoa and honey mixture mid morning and the second one in the afternoon.  I go right to sleep now.  The health benefits of cocoa and honey are off the chart!  The best part is that I have no guilt!!!  YEA!!!    

Okay, okay... I admit, that I wanted to get your attention by putting a picture of chocolate first... I don't know about you, but chocolate is ALOT more exciting than fish!
