Research shows that over 70% of us treat ourselves to chocolate at least once a week.
Good quality dark, raw chocolate (at least 70% cocoa) has impressive health benefits:
· Boosts energy levels
· Improves blood flow which is great for your cardiovascular health
· Releases endorphins which helps with pain relief
· Relaxes muscles due to the magnesium content
· Tryptophan (the precursor of serotonin) boosts happiness
· May improve cognitive performance
· Anti-oxidants work to fight cellular and oxidative damage resulting in clearer, firmer skin
