Although chocolate works great to improve our mood or to diminish the
stress level (thanks to magnesium - a natural stress reducer), many of
us loves it simply because it's tasty. Of course, it is also rich in
calories, but if you have a balanced diet, a little bit of this sweet
pleasure will not ruin your weight :-)
Did you know that chocolate has also some beauty benefits?
What makes it so powerful? Cocoa!
Cocoa - its main ingredient - is a rich source of
antioxidants, that protect the body from aging, and flavonoids which are
helpful to improve the blood pressure and circulation, accelerating the
process of getting rid of body toxins too. Since cocoa is also loaded
with caffeine, which speeds up the process of fat burning, we can find
it as an ingredient of some anti-cellulite products.
Also the cocoa butter is extremely beneficial to your skin - it moisturizes and softens the chapped skin. That is why the chocolate is often used in beauty care.
You can find it in body balms, shower gels (my recent discovery:
coconut-chocolate shower gel, it smells sooo nice!) or bubble baths.
Some beauty salons offers also relaxing and skin nourishing body
massages with warm chocolate. Why not to try it one day?
