This one goes out to all you chocolate chip lovers out there. Some German lab boys just announced that the brown n' sweet stuff will lower blood pressure more than tea. Talk about some pleasant news ... that's like dropping 50 pounds on a Krispy Kreme diet, baby.

Now, while having lower blood pressure is all fun and good, chocolate ain't the only way to get there. If you save an emergency fund and then get out of debt, you'll feel the weight taken off your shoulders, and your ticker won't hurt when it thumps.

It doesn't take research in the lab to know about that last part, bub. When you save money; when you get out of debt, the stress in your life takes a nose-dive. And your blood pressure reading can go with it. You don't need to OD on chocolate, or tea, or acupuncture, or any of that other fancy-schmancy jazz. Listen to The Dave Ramsey Show if you don't believe me.
