5 Reasons to Eat More Chocolate
More Chocolate? Yes please! I love chocolate, but I don’t go overboard (no matter how much I want to) when it comes to eating it. However, there is something comforting for me about the flavor of chocolate. Okay so let’s jump right into this post. There are actually tremendous health benefits to consuming cocoa, including:
1. Antioxidant Protection: Rich in polyphenols, cocoa helps bolster our antioxidant system.
2. Athletic Performance: As it increases nitric oxide in the body, cocoa may allow athletes to perform further, for longer.
3. Cognitive Aging: Dark chocolate seems to reverse age-related memory decline in older adults.
4. Mental Acuity: Cocoa has been shown to improve cognitive performance on memory tests.
5. Healthy Skin: From protection against sun damage to enhanced hydration and reduced wrinkles, chocolate can be a superfood for the skin.
I get my daily indulgence of chocolate from Equip Foods’ Prime Protein Chocolate. It’s made from whole-food ingredients only. I love it because it’s a way that I can easily implement more REAL cocoa into my daily diet without adding any chemicals or extra junk. I also love it because it’s a complete source of grass-fed protein. That’s a win-win way to simplify my daily nutrition routine!
