We've all heard that dark chocolate has beneficial properties, research has shown that it helps keep high blood pressure down, your blood flowing and your heart healthy. Not to mention the uplifting mood raising emotional effects! But then ofcourse we are told to only have it in moderation, afterall chocolates are still loaded with processed sugars and fat. So what's a chocolate lover to do??!!
Well chocolate lovers, there is an answer to your prayers and it lies in the cacao nut, this is where chocolate comes from. Raw cacao is the #1 ANTIOXIDANT RICH FOOD ON THE PLANET.Cacao has more antioxidants than red wine, blueberries, acai, pomegranates, and goji berries COMBINED. Below is the ORAC scale or system used to measure the amount of antioxidants in a food. As you can see Cacao far surpasses the top antioxidant rich foods.
Not only is CACAO the #1 source of antioxidants but also the #1 source of magnesium (the most deficient major mineral on the Standard American Diet)
