Phelps Health Tip:
Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health shares the following: "Good news chocolate lovers. Dark chocolate in small amounts is believed to have heart-healthy benefits and might even help lower blood pressure. These potential health benefits are attributed to dark chocolate's phytochemical content". Note this as you preorder your Orwasher's Dark Chocolate Chip Challah this week!
