I used to a be what you call ‘Chocoholic’, until I was diagnosed ‘pre-diabetic’. However, after consulting with my GP, I was given ‘green light’ to eat dark chocolate. And as we all know; it has got some amazing health benefits!
Taking care of our skin is not only about using cosmetics on it. What we eat also has a huge impact on how healthy our skin becomes. Dark Chocolate is one of those food items that can rejuvenate your skin from inside.
The presence of anti-oxidants in dark chocolate makes it very useful for our skin. What dark chocolate does is that it protects our skin from UV damage. At the same time, it also helps to keep our skin hydrated and smooth.
