Guys – humans of the male gender – this post is safe, if somewhat irrelevant, for you.
It will come to no surprise to any of you, after my last post about drowning in the Red Sea, that I am anemic. I’m falling asleep everywhere, and can’t drag myself out of bed, nails are peeling and breaking all over the place. Before resorting to iron supplements (stained teeth! constipation! SEXY TIME!), I’m really trying to change my diet to eat as many iron-rich foods as possible.
Namely, dark chocolate.
A small bar of Lindt dark chocolate easily provides up to 67% of the daily value for iron. In a form that is easily absorbed by the body.
So basically, I have NO CHOICE but to eat a LOT of chocolate. For my health.
Life is very hard, sometimes.
I leave you with Mr. Bean. He gives a very good argument for a steady diet of chocolate in the clip below. Mr. Bean the Wise.
Chocolate is a migraine trigger for me. Sometimes I miss it, terribly. Please indulge in an extra piece or three, on my behalf. 🙂

If you want an even better chocolate source of iron run, do not walk, to your nearest natural food store and see if they carry Giddy Yoyo organic dark chocolate. You will not be sorry!
