I try to stay fit and healthy, but that's not easy when I spend most of my day sat in front of a computer screen.

Compounds in cocoa can counter sitting's negative effects on vascular function. Excuse me while I put the kettle on.
I've rambled on for long enough, but before I go be sure to check out our full review of the Procolored F13 DTF printer, oven, and press package. Lots of other stuff too. Enjoy !
