COZY CHOCO-LOVE!
Prevention US
|February 2025
This craveable treat, when eaten the right way, really does help your health.
GO AHEAD, EMBRACE your chocolate habit. This beloved confection is made from cacao fruit, which is packed with nutrients like potassium and antioxidants, but not all chocolate is equally beneficial. For a treat that can be both satisfying and health-promoting, reach for the types that contain more cacao or cocoa powder than sugar and milk solids.
“Chocolate falls into the category of ‘good-for-you foods that taste incredibly delicious and can give you extra health perks,’” says Joy Bauer, M.S., R.D.N., author of Joy Bauer’s Superfood! Keep Bauer’s chocolate-lover tips in mind: Aim for 70% (or higher) dark chocolate for the greatest potential benefit, and try to avoid chocolate and cocoa that is Dutch- or alkali-processed, as “this method of production significantly lowers antioxidant levels,” explains Bauer.

THE OTHER BIRTH CONTROL FIGHT
Women’s bodily autonomy has long been under attack, with talk of the government restricting access to contraception even as abortion is illegal in many places. But one lesser-known aspect of reproductive control is the right to be sterilized—which many women are denied even if they're positive they want no future pregnancies.

WHAT IS CHRONIC PAIN?
When you strain your back or burn your arm, receptor cells send messages along your nerve pathways to your brain. This results in a feeling of pain, a signal from your body that you must tend to it; when you get better, the pain should subside. But for an estimated one in five American adults, pain remains a constant companion.
