chocolate

better and healthier than berries. It
enhances skin hydration, thickness
and does away with rough spots. It
has antioxidants known as flavanols,

decelerates blood pressure, enhances
skin elasticity and arterial function, and
improves insulin insensitivity.

carotenoids offer protection

production of collagen.
Walnuts
Research shows that walnuts contain
nutrients such as polyphenols,
tocopherols, and polyunsaturated
fatty acids, essential for lowering the
effects of the ageing process. The
