I have a very long relationship with chocolate. I describe it vaguely as love hate. I love chocolate and it hates me back. I love it in those moments when I’m desperate, depressed, stressed in a way that I can’t think, a hit of chocolate is going to make everything better and that’s when I confuse living life with a sugar rush.
And then comes the sugar low. The bloating, the spots, the tiredness. Why did I think eating a bag of revels was a good idea? I just say the words family size bag of Revels and it brings it all back to me. The love, the excitement the pain, the disgust and now I learn something ridiculous. Chocolate is a smart food. Now I say these new words. Chocolate can be good for you. Not the kind that’s been pimped with, sugar and dairy. Not the one that generates weight gain, insulin spikes and guilt.
Chocolate the super food. Sometimes dark chocolate is bitter, too bitter so you can’t eat too much of it and maybe that’s why it’s better for you ……but apparently cocoa is a rich and powerful antioxidant able to neutralise free radical molecules and reduce inflammation. Those very dark chocolate bars are not so fun.
A hearty chocolate that tastes delicious surely is the holy grail. Esthechoc is delicious. Cocoa-ey but not bitter and its inventor Dr Petyaev says it’s the most enjoyable way to protect your skin.
Esthechoc has been clinically proven to improve the health of the skin with two very important anti-oxidants: Astaxanthin which is a strong anti-inflammatory substance 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C and Cocoa polyphenolic Epicatechins, which increases oxygen transport in plasma and micro circulation. A circulation boost results in a healthy, strong and youthful looking skin.
This is the technology behind Esthechoc. It’s not just dark chocolate. It’s chocolate pleasure plus. Because you eat these active substances it’s absorbed more easily in the stomach. Bio availability is the measure of what is detected in the blood after consumption. Basically how potent it is and how it impacts on the skin metabolism. Dr Petyaev says chocolate when combined with our patented technology has a range of benefits throughout the body. When combined with Astaxanthin there is a super additive effect for Polyphenols in in the cocoa so that they become ten times more powerful than when ingested alone. Eating one Esthechoc a day improves oxygen transport by 85% and reduces damage related to inflammation by 72%. Dr Petyaev seems to have hit on something that’s almost beyond the powers of science. Eating one chocolate a day helps maintain a youthful skin. It’s also vegan with only 38 kcal. The other really interesting thing is when you eat this pure potent chocolate you are less inclined to reach for the sugary sort. If you’re having this high quality chocolate with all its additions that’s really doing you good, you just don’t feel like being bad.
