10 things that may be good for us...

1. Chocolate. Everyone knows that chocolate is good for you, although unfortunately the dark and bitter kind is better for you than the sweet milky kind.

2. Red Wine. Again, if you read a newspaper more than once a year, you'll have heard about the benefits of red wine, the "French Paradox" and the like.

3. Stress. Long-term stress is definitely not good for you but in short bursts - say standing up to give a speech at a wedding - stress can help reinforce your immune system.

7. Like red wine and chocolate, coffee contains antioxidates and tannins that help protect the heart and unblock the arteries.
