Everyone has a study now, everyone has
a spin. Everyone has a "Health
Drink" with wild exotic fruits and flavors.
But
who are you going to believe... how about yourself?
How
about your own tastes buds? How about your own bathroom scale?
What
is it you like, what is it that tastes good to you?
Chocolate.
and lots of it.... keep the chocolate coming!!
Chocolate
is a universal language of Yummy!
And
dark chocolate is actually good for the Tummy!
So,
okay, what ARE the benefits of Dark Chocolate? Why not just eat Milk Chocolate?
According
to About.com, "Chocolate is made from plants, which means it
contains many of the health benefits of dark vegetables. These benefits
are from flavonoids, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect
the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage
that leads to heart disease. Dark chocolate contains a large number
of antioxidants (nearly 8 times the number found in strawberries). Flavonoids
also help relax blood pressure through the production of nitric oxide,
and balance certain hormones in the body. Dark chocolate is good for
your heart. A small bar of it everyday can help keep your heart and
cardiovascular system running well. Two heart health benefits of dark
chocolate are:
(1)
Blood Pressure: Studies have shown that consuming a small bar of dark
chocolate everyday can reduce blood pressure in individuals with high
blood pressure.
(2)
Lower Cholesterol: Dark chocolate has also been shown to reduce LDL
cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by up to 10 percent."

According
to WebMD, "A Dark Chocolate a Day Keeps the Doctor Away: Daily
Dark Chocolate Good for the Heart, Loaded With Flavonoids - Here's news
that's hard not to like. Eating a small, 1.6-ounce bar of dark chocolate
every day is good for you. Very good for you, find Mary Engler, PhD,
RN, of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues.
Now
here is a medical experiment you would love to volunteer for. Engler's
team divided 21 healthy adults into two groups. One group got a Dove
Dark Chocolate bar every day for two weeks. Like other dark chocolate
bars with high-cocoa content, this one is loaded with something called
epicatechin. Epicatechin is a particularly active member of a group
of compounds called plant flavoniods. Flavoniods keep cholesterol from
gathering in blood vessels, reduce the risk of blood clots, and slow
down the immune responses that lead to clogged arteries. [more]

Dark
Chocolate is world-renown for its high Antioxidant value, supporting
optimal health and wellness. TLC has this to a new level of nutritional
value with the addition of highly sought after exotic fruits from around
the world, including Acai, Mangosteen, Cupuau, Goji (Wolfberry) and
Cherry.
Acai,
the fruit of a palm tree ("The Tree Of Life") that grows in
the rainforests of the Amazon, is known to have ten times more antioxidants
than red grapes and 10 to 30 times the anthocyanins (polyphenols that
give fruits and vegetables their deep color and are high in antioxidant
value) of red wine! Antioxidants which include the Vitamins C and E
that are found in the Acai fruit, help to neutralize oxygen-free radicals,
which are an unhealthy by-product of the process the body uses to turn
food into energy. Acai also has a high concentration of Omega 6 and
Omega 9 fatty acids, which help fight the buildup of LDL, or bad cholesterol,
in the body while also helping support HDL, or good cholesterol. The
benefits of Acai are endless, as they promote cardiovascular and digestive
health and contain a large range of vitamins and nutrients including
Vitamins B1, B2, B3, C, E, Potassium, Zinc, Magnesium and Phosphorus.
Mangosteen
is recognized for the incredibly potent antioxidant power of its phytonutrient
xanthones. Xanthones are the most highly active antioxidants found in
the mangosteen fruit and come predominately from the rind or outer shell
portion of the fruit. Xanthones are a biological class of phytonutrients
that are very stable and have been found to exhibit strong antioxidant
activity. Mangosteen has over 40 naturally occurring xanthones!
From
deep in the Amazon Rainforest comes a delicious exotic fruit called
the Cupuau (pronounced coo-poo-ah-sue). Known as the "The Taste
of Brazil", this fruit is used in juices, jams and other tasty
treats. In addition to its many antioxidant properties, Cupuau has been
touted as supporting a healthy digestive tract, boostin the immune system
and promoting energy and libido. This highly sought-after fruit contains
phytonutrients called polyphenols and theograndins (super-antioxidants)
and several other antioxidants including Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B3 as
well as essential fatty acids and amino acids - Which is why we call
it a complete super-fruit!
Goji
berry is the common name for the fruit of two very closesly related
species; Lycium barbarum and L. chinense, two species of boxthorn in
the family Solanacea. Although its original habitat is obscure (probably
southeastern Europe to southwest Asia), goji berry species currently
grow in many world regions.
The
cherry belongs to the family Rosaceae, genus Prunus, along with almonds,
peaches, plums, apricots and bird cherries. The subgenus is native to
the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with two species in
America, three in Europe, and the remainder in Asia. Cherries contain
anthocyanins, the red pigment in berries. Cherry anthocyanins have been
shown to reduce pain and inflammation in rats. Anthocyanins are also
potent antioxidants under active research for a variety of potential
health benefits.
