9 Health Benefits of Chocolate

Superfoods don't just come from your supermarket's produce aisle. In fact those chocolate candy bars next to the gummy bears now qualify. Study after study proves that dark chocolate—sweet, rich, and delicious—is good for more than curing a broken heart. The secret behind its powerful punch is cacao, also the source of the sweet's distinct taste. Packed with healthy chemicals like flavonoids and theobromine, this little bean is a disease-killing bullet. The only problem? Cacao on its own is bitter, chalky, nasty stuff. Enter milk, sugar, and butter—good for your taste buds, not always good for your health. Besides adding calories, these can dilute the benefits of cacao. So snack smart: Stick to healthy chocolate with at least 70 percent cacao (or cocoa, which is cacao in its roasted, ground form).

Their Newborn Was Covered In Hundreds Of Birthmarks, But Look At Her 19 Years Later..

-

“Everyone is born to look different, and we should all feel beautiful in our own skin.” A teenage girl shares this great thought with us.

Ciera Swaringen is a 19-year-old girl who lives in Rockwell, North Carolina. She was born with hundreds of oversized mole-like birthmarks covering her entire body. It is a rare skin condition, which happens to one in every 500,000 people.

 Ciera’s parents nurtured her like their other kids and admitted her to a school, where unfortunately she had to endure cruel taunts from other children and adults as well. She was nicknamed “spotty dog” by school bullies and some outrageous guys literally called her by this name on her face. But, she developed a positive attitude towards her birthmarks.


 Yeah! She felt different but not in the way she was supposed to be. Ciera never hated herself for having the birthmarks which cover her entire body, instead she embraced them and chose a happy life.
