A Natural Body Glow for the New Year
Do your resolutions for the New Year include taking better care of your skin to attain that natural, healthy glow? Indulge in cocoa and let your skin reap the rewards. Grown locally in Dominica, cocoa’s active minerals and antioxidants offer countless benefits for your skin and heart.
Benefits of Cocoa
Cocoa tea is a popular drink on Dominica not only for its delicious flavor, but also for its many health benefits. The benefits of cocoa come from cocoa flavanols, nutrients found in nature and in the cocoa bean. Cocoa powder also contains many minerals including calcium, potassium and zinc.
- Flavanols increase blood circulation and lower blood pressure, which allows nutrients to better travel throughout the body
- The high antioxidant content of cocoa (higher than that of green tea) helps to repair skin cells
- Cocoa butter, rich in Vitamin E and highly moisturizing, has anti-aging properties and may help prevent and reduce the appearance of stretch marks
- High levels of caffeine and theobromine found in cocoa solids may help reduce the appearance of cellulite and puffiness and firm the skin
You can find these benefits in cocoa powder and dark chocolate with at least 65% cocoa content.
