Chocolate Bytes: For the Love of Chocolate

Fighting Age With Chocolate

by Cathy on October 15th, 2006

This is more great health news.  I am at that age where my skin refuses to behave the way it is supposed to.  Instead, wrinkles and sags and weird age spots appear out of nowhere.  But according to an article in Britain’s Daily Mirror, once again chocolate comes to the rescue.

The article lists the top ten anti-ageing foods.  In this case they are the ones that will help prevent wrinkles, and for the most part the list includes foods you might expect such as spinach, flaxseed, and prunes.  But number nine on the list, music to my ears, is chocolate.  Apparently chocolate boosts the flow of blood to the skin, and even appears to have the added side benefit of providing greater protection against damage from UV rays.  But milk chocolate lovers beware, it is just dark chocolate that fights wrinkles.
