As if I need another reason to eat chocolate



So I was at the store the other day and I saw two new Dove candy bars. I was overjoyed!

Dove beautiful is to help promote healthy skin. It "contains smooth milk chocolate, plus skin nourishing vitamins C & E, biotin, zinc, and cocoa flavanols that help hydrate from within to support beautiful-looking skin" Isn' t that Awesome?! I seem to recall being told as a teenager not to eat chocolate because it would make pimples worse. Well, here you go! Now there's another way to feel beautiful!






There is also Dove Vitalize. it "contains rich dark chocolate, plus energy-releasing B vitamins, the natural goodness of cocoa flavanols that help support circulatory health. It also contains plant sterols that help maintain a healthy cholesterol level"





And, as if you need yet another reason to eat chocolate, there has been a study recently about how eating some dark chocolate may help prevent preeclampsia. Read here. Or read this one.






And we all know that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can help your mood. That's why I have a stash in my bedroom. I walk upstairs, eat my chocolate, and take a couple deep breaths and then I can deal with kids again. (And by walking upstairs I also get my exercise!)
