My Dark Little Secret

The title of this post may have enticed you and so it should. My dark secret could soon be yours too!

So I guess I should tell you what my dark little secret is huh? Dark Chocolate! YUM!! Not only is dark chocolate actually good for you but if you have a massive sweet tooth like myself this will be a brilliant little secret for you. 

Dark chocolate contains a compounds called flavonoid, these are plant-based compounds with powerful antioxidant properties, which means they help reduce inflammation, promote healthy arteries and help fight aging by preventing and repairing cellular damage, all of which is fantastic for your skin and over all health! 

So what chocolate should you choose? If you are going to eat dark chocolate for its amazing health benefits make sure you are eating one that contains 70% cocoa content or higher as this will have the most beneficial properties. Avoid white or milk chocolate as this will contain a greater amount of sugar, milk, fat and butter along with other ingredients that are added to chocolate to give it, its distinctive flavour. 

Remember to eat your chocolate in combination with a healthy balanced diet and enjoy!
