Chocolate has been viewed as a global delicacy for centuries, but only recently, it has been discovered that chocolate contains an array of
phytochemicals, considered highly valuable to our health. Cocoa products, including chocolate, are among some of the most concentrated
sources of flavinoids - rich antioxidants. These antioxidants have the ability to destroy free radicals and inhibit lipid oxidization.
This is good news. That means that if you eat chocolate, you are actually lowering your risk of cardiovascular disease, increasing your trace
mineral intake capabilities and intaking an anti-inflammatory. There are also rumors that chocolate can help in the fight against cancer.
Antioxidants are well known as powerful anti-aging allies - a boon to discriminating bathroom counters everywhere. That also means that if you
spread it on your skin, chocolate will return a youthful glow and protect from the effects of sun and pollution.
The fat content in cocoa butter is composed mainly of a high quality linoleic acid. This gives chocolate the capacity to reduce fine lines, scars and
stretch marks. Skin is allowed to slowly regain lost elasticity.
Chocolate has been valued as a sacred mood-enhancer since its discovery. It has been believed to be an aphrodisiac as well as an
antidepressant.
French women have an interesting take on indulgence - never deprive yourself. Eat chocolate whenever you crave it. The catch is that a French
woman will buy one piece of the most exquisite chocolate she can find, and she'll spend ten minutes eating it. A far cry from grabbing a couple
Caramilks out of the two for one bin.
Just imagine the possibilities - get yourself some good chocolates and enjoy them in the tub with some body chocolate.
