. That’s not just hearsay – this lovely little brown bean ranks alongside coffee and green tea as one of nature’s best “superfoods,” and even if you don’t love to eat it as much as some people do, you can still easily add it to your diet or supplement stack with these flavanol-packed products from CocoaVia. Now’s a great time to try it out, too, as CocoaVia is running
a week-long end-of-year sale
right now on all of its products. Read on to find out more about what CocoaVia can do for your body and how you can save.
Cocoa has many interesting and
scientifically proven health benefits
for the human body, the most important of which is that it is a boon to your heart and circulatory system. Cocoa flavanols improve circulation by naturally increasing nitric oxide levels in your blood. Nitric oxide is a potent compound that relaxes your arterial walls, increasing blood flow by making your blood vessels softer and more pliable. Your blood performs the vital tasks of delivering oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body while simultaneously carrying away toxins and waste materials, so improving your circulation is one of the best ways to achieve better overall health.

CocoaVia’s products are made from cocoa which is processed with
a unique proprietary technology
that preserves the delicate health-boosting flavanols (which are easily destroyed by normal processing methods — so no, you’re not getting much of a flavanol boost from that chocolate candy bar). CocoaVia also offers three different ways to enjoy the benefits of cocoa, so you’ve got a few options when it comes to making this superfood a permanent part of your diet and supplement regimen.

Chocolate-based drinks are nothing new, and the CocoaVia flavanol drink mix packets are even easier to make than hot cocoa: Simply add a packet to any flavored drink, food, or recipe of your choice. Each stick packet contains zero grams of fat, zero grams of sugar, and 450 mg of flavanols – the same amount as two of the CocoaVia capsules – making this another super-simple way to add high-quality, flavanol-packed cocoa to your diet.

Japanese whisky-maker Nikka celebrates 90 years of distilling with Nine Decades
Nikka whisky celebrates 90 years with a unique expression
Fans of Japanese whisky know Nikka for its award-winning expressions including Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Yoichi, and Nikka From The Barrel, among others. If you like those, you’ll love Nikka’s newest release. But to get your hands on it, you’ll need quite a bit of cash.
Nikka Nine Decades
It’s called Nikka Nine Decades, and it was crafted to celebrate the iconic Japanese whisky brand’s 90th birthday. This limited-release is a blended whisky made up of whiskies from the 1940s to the 2020s. But it's not just Japanese whiskies included. There are whiskies from all six of Nikka’s distilleries including Ben Nevis in Scotland. The blend is made up of over 150 whiskies. It included rare malt whiskies from Yoichi and Miyagikyo, new grain whiskies from Moji and Satsumastukasa, as well as long-matured grain whisky from Nishinomiya .
Benromach is releasing an un-peated single malt Scotch with the perfect name
There's no peat msoke in Benromach's new expression
Scotch whisky distiller Benromach is well-known for its subtly smoky, peated single malt whiskies. But its recent addition to the core range is a little different. That’s because it’s an un-peated expression for those drinkers who don’t prefer to sip a whisky that tastes like it was dipped into the center of a roaring campfire for a few seconds. As a bonus, it has the perfect name for such a different expression.
Benromach Contrasts Unpeated
It’s aptly called Benromach Contrasts Unpeated. While it might be made using the same methods as the core range of expressions, it’s crafted with traditional malted barley as opposed to peat-smoked barley, hence the contrast.
AETHER FW24 focuses on performance for the elements
Jackets, Shells, and Coats for any element
If you have ever pulled yourself out of a deep sleep, slipping out of a blissful dream, standing on the edge of a mountain, and staring at mother nature's beautifully carved handiwork of the valley, only to find yourself staring at an alarm clock. If that experience then led to you mundanely trudging through a morning routine of getting dressed, eating a processed breakfast, and sitting in bumper car traffic. And if all of that led to you asking yourself if there is something more, AETHER has been looking for you. Born out of the disillusionment of their industry, two filmmakers set out in 2009 to create a brand of clothing meant to be abused. With the creation of AETHER, Palmer West and Jonah Smith look to get everyone out of the routine and into something more fulfilling: adventure. The AETHER FW24 collection continues what they have spent a decade and a half perfecting.
Performance and versatility
When you pick up anything from AETHER, the feeling you get when putting it on is that you can do almost anything. It won't help you climb a mountain but will keep you warm. And you don't have to keep the sweaters, coats, and shells in the closet until vacation time; they work perfectly well in the office, too. And that seems to be the company's entire point.
