Why Dark Chocolate Deserves a Place in Your Health Routine 🍫🧠

Dark chocolate (ideally 70% cacao or higher) isn’t just a treat — it’s a nutritional powerhouse rich in flavonoids, a class of antioxidants that help fight oxidative stress and support overall health.

Here’s why it’s more than just a sweet craving:

💥 Antioxidants & Flavonoids: Dark chocolate contains a potent mix of polyphenols, flavanols, and catechins. These help neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation — great for overall wellness and post-training recovery.

❤️ Heart Health: Flavonoids have been shown to help improve endothelial function, lower blood pressure, and support healthy circulation — reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

🧠 Brain Boost: Improved blood flow from cocoa flavanols supports mental performance and mood — enhancing clarity, focus, and even reaction time.

🏋️‍♂️ Exercise Recovery: Antioxidants in dark chocolate may aid in managing the cellular stress caused by intense training, helping you bounce back faster.

😌 Feel-Good Vibes: Dark chocolate stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin — lifting your mood and calming your mind.

👉 Tip: Stick with 1–2 squares of quality dark chocolate post-meal or post-workout. Avoid those loaded with sugar or dairy.

Cardiovascular health and efficiency is one of the biggest markers of Healthspan and longevity.

Zone 2 cardiovascular training (where your heart rate is around 60 - 70% of your max) should form the foundation of your health and fitness regime.

Firstly calculate your zone 2 training zone. Here is a chart for you to follow below:-

Age Approximate Zone 2 Heart Rate (bpm)
20 120–140 bpm
30 114–133 bpm
40 108–126 bpm
50 102–119 bpm
60 96–112 bpm
70 90–105 bpm
When performing zone 2 You should be able to talk. if you’re gasping, you’re pushing too hard! The recommended frequency for zone 2 training is -

Minimum for health: 2–3 sessions of 30–45 minutes per week.

For strong endurance benefits: 3–5 hours per week, ideally split across multiple sessions.

Good Exercises for Zone 2 are steady and sustainable such as

- [ ] Brisk walking (especially uphill or weighted walks)

- [ ] Cycling (outdoors or on a stationary bike)

- [ ] Cross Trainer (low resistance, steady)

- [ ] Swimming (easy pace, long steady laps)

- [ ] Jogging (slow enough that you can still have a conversation)

- [ ] Rucking (walking with a weighted backpack)

Here is one of our best body & lifestyle transformations ever!!

The pictures speak for themselves - make sure you scroll along to see the full transformation.

Alistair started his journey with me in January 2024. He weighed in at over 95kg with shoulder and hip pain and a very inconsistent approach to training and nutrition. Alistair slowly started to improve his mobility and strength and made some simple, yet effective changes to his diet, resulting in changes to his physical shape whilst his shoulder and hip become pain free.

Over the months we slowly progressed his training and diet. Alistair made massive but sustainable changes to gain these amazing results.

Today Alistair weighed 75kg with just 10% body fat 🤯 and the results are there to be seen.

Keep any eye 👁️ out for our next post where we’ll document some of Alistair’s training videos and diet changes - providing a breakdown of his results!

Gareth’s 10-Week Body Transformation

Total Weight Loss:
177 lbs → 165 lbs
12 lbs of body fat lost

Despite already having a solid diet and training routine, Gareth needed to improve consistency in his workouts and make small but impactful dietary adjustments. By increasing his protein intake, he was able to better support muscle growth, curb hunger, and enhance recovery—allowing him to push harder as his workouts intensified each week.

To achieve fat loss while preserving energy for muscle building, Gareth followed a small calorie deficit and focused on a balanced diet rich in nutrient-dense whole foods.

His training plan included four weekly resistance training sessions targeting strength and hypertrophy (muscle growth). Additionally, he accumulated 120+ minutes of cardio per week, incorporating both low-intensity and high-intensity training for optimal endurance and fat loss.

Now, Gareth maintains his chiseled physique by sticking to strong nutrition habits and continually challenging himself in both strength and cardio training. His progress and dedication led him to take on the Hyrox Games, where he successfully competed at this year’s Las Vegas event.
