Cocoa is the secret behind the powerful punch of DARK chocolate, MISS UNIVERSE 2005 Natalie Glebova’s favorite wrinkle eliminator. Cocoa contains high levels of flavonoids and can help improve the condition of your skin. In one study, women who consumed cocoa had increases in blood flow to their skin, along with increased skin density and hydration. The skin surface also appeared smoother. WARNING: Avoid Milk!!! It may taste good but some research shows that washing your cocoa down with a glass of milk could prevent the antioxidants being absorbed or used by your body. (For the same reason, avoid milk chocolate; choose DARK chocolate.)

Bought for a friend. Cocoa has been shown to be a powerhouse of cognitive enhancement, antioxidants, flavonols, catechins and other brain & body-enhancing elements. Cocoa is also a good source of magnesium, believed to help relieve premenstrual and nervous tension. Cocoa has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine and up to three times those found in green tea. A diet high in antioxidants kills those nasty free radicals that destroy healthy cells in the body, causing cancer, heart disease and premature aging. The best way to maximize the health benefits of cocoa is by using 100% pure and organic cocoa powder – as a beverage. Forget the pre-packaged chocolate drink powders in the supermarket (containing mainly sugar and milk powders) and make your own. Mix a tablespoon of cocoa powder with fresh home-made juice or water, add a sprinkle of ORGANIC cinnamon (Product Code: SOG-18513), and ORGANIC coconut sugar (Product Code: NUT-10301) for sweetness. Then sit back and take a long, soothing sip. Being healthy never tasted so good! Organic coconut sugar is highly nutritious; a rich source of potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. It is also one of the lowest glycemic index sweeteners on the market, with a glycemic index of 35, in comparison to cane sugar, which has an index of 68. It helps manage a variety of health problems – including diabetes, hypoglycemia and obesity.

I add Nutiva, Organic Coconut Sugar (Product Code: NUT-10301) for sweetness. By the way, coconut sugar is highly nutritious; a rich source of potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and B vitamins. It is also one of the lowest glycemic index sweeteners on the market, with a glycemic index of 35, in comparison to cane sugar, which has an index of 68. It helps manage a variety of health problems – including diabetes, hypoglycemia and obesity.

Dietary antioxidants contribute to endogenous photoprotection and are important for the maintenance of skin health. In one study, evaluation of the skin surface showed a significant decrease of skin roughness and scaling in the high flavanol cocoa group at week 12. Dietary flavanols from cocoa contribute to endogenous photoprotection, improve dermal blood circulation, and affect cosmetically relevant skin surface and hydration variables.
