Contrary to many common myths, overwhelming medical
research shows the remarkable positive effect cacao
and cocoa can have on your health! Cacao contains
high levels of flavonoids, antioxidants that can decrease
the risk of cancer in humans. In fact, organic cacao
and cocoa generally contain higher levels of these
antioxidants than both vitamin C and green tea. Additionally,
these flavonoids are thought to improve the function
of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and possibly
reducing the risk of heart disease.
Antioxidants
* Cacao contains powerful antioxidants known as
flavonoids which help protect against free radicals
that may cause cell
and tissue damage.
* These same antioxidants found in our cocoa and cacao
can inhibit plaque formation in the arteries and improve
the flexibility of blood vessels, possibly lowering
the risk of
heart disease.
* The purer the cacao, the more
powerful the antioxidants. Even only 70% cocoa
or higher dark chocolate contains more antioxidant
power than green tea, red wine or blueberries.
Pure Raw Organic Cacao and Cocoa
provides a robust helping of nutrients
for your heart, and adding other heart-friendly foods
like berries and nuts to your recipes provides even
more!
Vitamins
* Cacao
contains numerous
vitamins and minerals such as: copper, potassium,
magnesium and phosphorus, and tastes way better than
taking multi-vitamin pills.
* Contrary to popular belief, chocolate contains very
little caffeine, only a fraction of that in a cup
of coffee.
* Cacao has a low glycemic index, meaning a smaller
fluctuation in blood glucose and insulin levels than
with other sweet foods.
Your Emotional Health
* Eating chocolate releases endorphins, the body's
natural "feel-good"
chemical. That's the tingling you get all-over after
eating it.
* Cocoa
and cacao are known to act as antidepressants and
as aphrodisiacs. It contains a phenyl ethylamine,
which can cause feelings similar to being in love
* Our health is so connected to our
own outlook and state of mind. That's why keeping
a healthy, fit, pure body and mind makes you feel
so great about yourself. Feel good about indulging
