Flavanols promote the production of nitric oxide, which relaxes the blood vessels and enhances blood flow. This helps lower blood pressure and ultimately enhances heart health.
These flavanols can also increase insulin sensitivity and possibly cut down diabetes risk.
The other important nutrients include iron, magnesium, pper, zinc, and phosphorus – all of which contribute to your overall health (including cancer prevention).
The flavanols can protect the skin against sun damage. Studies show that dietary flavanols from cocoa offer photoprotection and improve dermal blood circulation.

Simplify: Make Your Life Successful Peaceful and Fun 1, 2, 3
SIMPLIFY:
Learning to simplify your life is easy and fun. The result of doing this is more time for yourself, more peace and more laughter!
Life doesn’t have to be so hard, you know. Learning how to simplify is so easy: just take a deep breath, smile and think what you don’t really need in your life.
Include your house, your work, your relationships. Relationships can clutter your thinking and mess up your life if you let them. Don’t. Walk away from them as soon as possible. But you cannot simplify if you retaliate. Remember, it takes two to tangle.

9 Facts About Breast Cancer You Should Know for Female and Male Patients…Read On!
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and the second most common cancer overall.
Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality worldwide.
In 20018, 8 million deaths were recorded as a result of malignant diseases, and this figure is estimated to reach 11 million by 2030.
I am seeing more breast cancer in men in my consultations. This is due to several factors:
History of radiation exposure of the chest
Enlargement of breasts (called gynecomastia) from drug or hormone treatments, or even some infections and poisons.
A rare genetic condition called Klinefelter’s syndrome
Severe liver disease, called cirrhosis
Diseases of the testicles such as mumps orchitis, a testicular injury, or an undescended testicle.
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 140 of 184 countries worldwide.
Globally, breast cancer now represents one in four of all cancers in women.
Prevention is the key: avoid risk factors, like smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, breastfeed if possible, be active, eat healthy.
Early detection can save your life: check with your family doctor every year. If you are at high risk attend medical consultations twice a year for your doctor to do a breast examination and ask questions. Practice breast self-exam regularly.
Despite controversy, studies show that breast cancer screening with mammography saves lives.

5 Best Desserts Food of the Year 2018 Around the World
[the_ad_placement id=»into-the-content»]
Dessert is a happy food, and they can enlighten anyone’s mood and bring a smile to the face.
Eating excessive volumes of sweets is not good for our health. It can potentially lead to a range of health issues in the future. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be enjoyed in moderation. Take a bite of your favourite chocolate or ice cream.
Eating in moderation is not bad, and we can allow ourselves to have it at least once a week. Don’t deprive yourself, instead reward yourself with it occasionally.
