Chocotherapy

Besides its culinary and festive aspects to the palate, chocolate contains exceptional benefits for the body.

Contrary to popular belief, chocolate is an excellent cosmetic for skin maintenance. 

Chocolate is composed of a mixture of cocoa and sugar which contains revitalizing and energising nutrients which will "recharge the batteries" of those who are experiencing some fatigue.

Chocolate is rich in magnesium, which is useful for the nervous and muscular balance. 100 grams of dark chocolate is enough to bring a third of the recommended daily dosage. Chocolate is also beneficial for the heart because it contains theobromine - a constituent which contains slimming qualities.

The exhilarating values of chocolate have been scientifically proved. Chocolate stimulates the production of endorphins - a substance secreted by the brain which inhibits messages related to pain.

Another advantage includes protection from free radicals responsible for the ageing of the skin, thanks to a cocktail of vitamins such as A, B, D, E and K, which boost cellular renewal and regenerates the skin, making it look more youthful and radiant.

Chocolate contains a powerful antioxidant called polyphenol, which has excellent anti-ageing qualities.

Various institutes propose the use of chocotherapy, taking advantage of all its benefits without consuming a single gram.
