As you know dark chocolate is one of those amazing super foods that because of its amazing health promoting and beautifying properties can be part of a healthy diet or even your weight loss program. Dark chocolate is bursting full of flavonoids and antioxidants. It contains catechins – the same compound you find in green tea – and it’s one of the highest sources of procyanidins which are chemicals that counter skin damage, promote heart health and may protect against cancer. Research shows that chocolate may improve circulation to the skin and thus keeps your skin looking younger and more radiant. Also: dark chocolate is high in waist slimming fibre, red blood cells promoting iron, mood-improving magnesium and metabolism-boosting manganese.
However, it is important to be aware of the fact that not all chocolate is the same and that some of the chocolate you can buy at the supermarket has added soy lecithin or contains unhealthy fats. Both can have rather harmful effects on your hormones, digestion and in doing so of course on your skin tone too.
So to reap all the benefits of your skin glowing chocolate super treat, whip up this quick chocolate candy yourself.
