Youthfulness With Chocolate

If you want to look youthful, eat more dark chocolate. This is the recommendation of British scientists from the London European Dermatology Center, according to Daily Telegraph.

The experts have determined that chocolate slows the aging of the skin and protects it from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. According to contemporary science, it is the ultraviolet rays that make the skin lose its natural elasticity and facilitate the development of skin cancer.

The active chemical ingredients of dark chocolate – the flavanols – trigger the defensive mechanisms of the skin which leads to its rejuvenation.

British scientists state that the effects of dark chocolate are most noticeable on the skin of the face.
