20 Incredibly Simple Swaps That Will Change Your LIfe

12. Have Dark Chocolate Rather Than Milk Chocolate

Yes, we know, chocolate is the best, and while some life hacks would suggest swapping out chocolate all together, one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to still enjoy chocolate is to swap your regular milk chocolate for one of the many delicious dark alternatives out there on the market. Why? Dark chocolate has been found to have significantly higher levels of iron, potassium, and magnesium, to name but a few, as opposed to milk chocolate, and while dark chocolate does have slightly more calories, it has half of the sugar, and ten times less cholesterol than its milk brethren. More and more health benefits to eating dark chocolate over milk chocolate - such as its higher zinc levels potentially helping you fend off a cold, or the 400% more fibre it has - are emerging, meaning you really can have your cake and eat it too. Or, you could always try just eating one single square of chocolate a day, which apparently some people actually do, instead of devouring the whole bar while watching Netflix repeats, which is something you've definitely never done.
