Guilt Free Indulgences

Celebrate Valentine’s Day Every Day!

Although synonymous with Valentine’s Day, chocolate alone possesses an alluring mystical quality that enchants us all 24/7.

Its allure has been around for 2,000 years or more. In fact, many centuries ago, cacao beans—from which chocolate is originally derived—were considered so valuable that they were used as a kind of currency.

Now we know that chocolate is actually good for you and especially good for your heart.

Cocoa is a rich source of heart-protective anti-inflammatory compounds called flavonoids. The special type of flavonoids in cocoa are called flavanols. They are superb at preventing fatty substances from turning into plaque in the arteries. They also modulate nitric oxide so crucial to lowering blood pressure and improving insulin sensitivity.

Fabulous Flavanols

Flavanols valiantly protect the arterial wall from buildup created by the undesirable LDLs (low density lipoprotein) or “bad” cholesterol. They are front line powerhouses that strengthen the endothelium lining blood vessels assisting them to relax and contract, resulting in better blood flow and enhanced cognitive functioning. In addition, by making blood platelets less sticky, cocoa reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots.

And, let’s not forget that cocoa is a decent source of magnesium, one of the key minerals for a healthy heart in the first place. For years I have been telling my clients that chocolate cravings may be a sign of magnesium deficiency!

If you want to get the real deal, then obtain the very best high cocoa-content dark chocolate on the market—look at the label for a 70-80 percent or higher cocoa content. We are not talking about milk or white chocolate here or commercial candy bars loaded with fat, waxes, chemicals, or extra sugars.

The Best Whey to Enjoy Chocolate

Knowing the importance of flavanol-rich cocoa for optimum heart health, I worked with the team at UNI KEY to formulate Fat Flush Chocolate Whey Protein as a daily heart-healthy slimming treat.

I don’t know of any other chocolate protein powder on the market that compares to this one—it contains 100% pure unsweetened Guittard cocoa that boasts the highest flavanol content we could find.

And, it’s made without harsh alkalis that are all too common in other commercial chocolate protein powders.

The Guittard cocoa is then blended into the purest non-denatured (unheated) hormone-free whey protein high in L-Leucine that turns off the hunger hormone while promoting weight loss, lean muscle tissue, and liver health. And besides the incredible health and slimming benefits, I know you’re gonna LOVE the taste.
