  • Coconut oil is known for promoting enhanced brain health, by improving memory, clarity of mind and may even prevent and slow down the effects of ageing like cognitive decline.
  • Adding a healthy dose of dark chocolate to your diet may reduce stress and anxiety symptoms and create calmness, as the flavonoids in cocoa help provide these beneficial effects.
  • Pistachios may help you manage cardiovascular health and cholesterol levels, as they are relatively low in fat, high in fibre and contain lots of antioxidants.
  • Roses are renowned for their fragrant, fresh smell which may boost mood and happiness levels, and they can lift depression symptoms- don’t forget to add a few rose petals to decorate this wonderful chocolate cake.
