Fact Friday - The Sweet Side of Recovery 🍫

The Sweet Side of Recovery 🍫

Did you know that dark chocolate (with 70% cocoa or more) isn’t just a delicious chocolate, it’s actually packed with benefits that can support your body after exercise? The star mineral here is magnesium, which plays a key role in muscle function, helping to relax tight muscles and reduce post-workout tension.

Dark chocolate also contains antioxidants called flavonoids, which can help reduce inflammation and support overall recovery. And don't forget, it can boost your mood too, thanks to its ability to stimulate the production of feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin and endorphins.

So next time you’ve finished a Pilates session, walk or workout, you can enjoy a square or two knowing it’s more than just a treat, it’s a small, tasty step towards better recovery.

💡 Tip: Look for chocolate with minimal added sugar and at least 70% cocoa for the best benefits.
