Dark Chocolate and Green Tea Boost Skin Health

In addition to remaining well hydrated by consuming sufficient pure filtered water, including green tea to your daily diet may also give your skin a healthy boost. Green Tea is an excellent source of antioxidants and alkaloids and is packed with vitamins A, B, B5, D, E, C, H, and K, manganese and other beneficial minerals such as chromium, selenium, and zinc, these last two are of particularly importance for healthy skin.

Green tea has also been reported to contain high quantities of the antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is anywhere from twenty five to one hundred times more potent than vitamins C and E. Studies with EGCG have also indicated the ability to prevent genetic damage in skin cells that are exposed to UV radiation. Add a squirt or two of lemon juice to your cup of green tea to boost the benefits even further. Research indicates that vitamin C considerably increases the amount of catechins available for the body to absorb. In fact, citrus juice increased the available catechin levels by more than five times, causing eighty percent of green tea's catechins to remain bioavailable.

Consuming dark chocolate is another favourable source of acquiring valuable antioxidants and well worth adding to your healthy resolutions and daily eating habits. Cocao flavanols in particular have demonstrated the ability to boost skin hydration and improve blood circulation. In one particular study, women who consumed a flavanol rich cocao powder drink daily for twelve weeks experienced noticeable improvements in skin texture compared to the control group.

For obtaining the maximum health benefits it is recommend to snack on raw cacao nibs. Cocao nibs are actually bitter to taste and not sweet at all, if you find the nibs too bitter, opt for the darkest chocolate you can tolerate, preferably seventy percent cacao or higher. Milk chocolate is actually detrimental to your skin nourishing goals because the sugar content is far too high and drastically outweighs any benefits from the polyphenols present.

Cocao

Cacao is made from unroasted, cold-pressed beans without any added sugar. Raw organic fairly traded cacao has over 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries with an ORAC score of 98,000 per 100g. This measures the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals. 

- Great source of iron (actually the highest plant based source of iron). Since it is non-heme iron, combine it with a vitamin C to reap the full benefits.

- Great source of magnesium which promotes healthy heart and brain function. 

-Has more calcium than Cows milk.

-Has chemicals such as serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylethylamine which boost mood and alleviate depression.
