In the world of guilty pleasures, dark chocolate stands out not only for
its decadent taste but also for its remarkable health benefits. Beyond its rich
flavor, dark chocolate is a treasure trove of nutrients that can positively
impact women's health. Let's journey to the delectable world of dark chocolate
and rediscover its myriad advantages.
Dark chocolate and its health benefits
1. Heart health ally
Dark chocolates are good for the heart, figuratively and literally. Its
positive effect is not confined to making you feel a little better after
getting broken hearted, it also contributes to making your heart
stronger.
For women who may be susceptible to heart-related issues, adding dark
chocolate as part of a healthy diet can be a way to support cardiovascular
health. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, potent antioxidants that help
improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure.
2. Mood booster
Women are prone to mood fluctuations due to hormonal changes and
environmental stressors. With the many hats that women wear, it's imperative to
always be in your top form.
The consumption of dark chocolate has been linked to the release of
endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, and serotonin, a neurotransmitter
associated with feelings of happiness and well-being. This makes dark chocolate
an effective mood enhancer.
3. Cognitive enhancement
For women on the go, it’s important to face challenging tasks with a
clear mind.
Dark chocolate is one delectable way to combat mental fatigue. It has
flavonols that have been shown to enhance cognitive function by increasing
blood flow to the brain. This boost in circulation may improve memory, focus,
and overall cognitive performance.
4. Skin savior
As opposed to the effect of too much sugar's on your skin -- acne,
premature aging, heightened eczema flare ups, and more -- the antioxidants in
dark chocolate contribute to healthier skin because they neutralize free
radicals.
Regular consumption of dark chocolate may help maintain skin elasticity,
reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and promote a radiant complexion, allowing
women to indulge guilt-free while nurturing their skin from within.
5. Iron source
Anemia, a condition particularly prevalent among women especially during
menstruation and pregnancy, is due to the lack of healthy red blood cells and
is therefore addressed with the increased intake of iron-rich food.
Dark chocolate contains significant amounts of iron that can help combat
fatigue and weaknesses associated with iron deficiency.
6. Stress reliever
The act of savoring a piece of dark chocolate can be inherently
soothing, providing a moment of indulgent relaxation amidst the hustle and
bustle of daily life. Additionally, dark chocolate contains magnesium, a
mineral known for its calming effects on the nervous system, making it an ideal
stress-relieving treat for women juggling multiple responsibilities.
Tablea: Philippines’ delicious, healthy gem
You don’t have to look too far to get a piece of this delectable
indulgence. For many generations, Filipinos have been delighted by a
traditional form of dark chocolate. Tablea, crafted from locally-grown cacao beans, is well loved not only
for its exquisite taste but also for its versatility in various culinary
creations. Made by grinding roasted cacao beans into a fine paste, which is
then molded into thick discs or tablets, it has a distinct flavor profile –
characterized by deep, robust notes with hints of bitterness and subtle
sweetness. Making tablea from pure cacao with no sugar added not only makes it
a flexible ingredient to any chocolate concoction, but it also retains its
healthy properties.
Eva Chocolates and its take to modern tablea
Eva Chocolates has been making tablea since 1890. It has remained
exclusive to family members and friends until the great granddaughter of the
ancestral cacao farm owner saw an opportunity to export the Family’s
traditional stone-ground Trinitario cacao.
Eva Chocolates practices sustainable means of cacao farming that ensure
that our products are kept organic, pure, and all-natural to be perfectly
nutritive. Through sustainable and organic production, our cacao products are
processed to be naturally packed with vitamins and antioxidants.
Carefully grown and handcrafted in Albay, Philippines, Eva Chocolates
are roasted, traditional stone-ground, pure (100%) Trinitario cacao. Albay is a
province in the Philippines, quite mountainous with rich and fertile lands to
grow crops. Its volcanic soil, climatic, topographic and other environmental
conditions compose the ideal terroir for growing cacao. The perfect terroir
combined with our traditional stone-ground processing give our products their
distinct flavors and aromatics.
Eva Chocolates: The perfect gift for you and the women in your life
Eva Chocolates are available in two forms:
- Traditional Stone-Ground Cacao (100%) – instant tablea, all-natural, and unsweetened
- Traditional-Roasted Cacao Nibs (100%) – all natural
Eva Chocolates
are perfect little gifts on any occasion as they make classic chocolate recipes
even more top notch.
Go as
basic as a warm cup of chocolate drink – melt in a pot of simmering milk, add a
dash of cinnamon powder, your choice of sweetener. Or as grand as a 3-tier
moist chocolate cake Matilda-style oozing with chocolatey goodness with an
all-natural Eva Chocolate gooey ganache.
Our chocolates come in an instant form that doesn't intimidate, but still packed with flavor that wows even Michelin-starred chefs.
