Chocolate
Up next, we have yet another delicious but surprising treat on our list. Chocolate is adored by just about everyone, though you might be surprised to hear that it can do wonders for the heart. A Harvard research has actually shown that individuals who consume raw cocoa on a regular basis have lower blood pressure levels and no indications of hypertension problems.
