Health Benefits of Cacao
Antioxidants: Cacao has more antioxidant flavonoids than any other food. Health benefits of these antioxidants include:
- Promote cardiovascular health
- Protect from environmental and metabolic toxins
Neurotransmitters: By increasing the levels of specific neurotransmitters in our brains, cacao promotes positive outlook, facilitates rejuvenation and simply helps us feel good.
- Serotonin - acts as an anti-depressant, helps reduce PMS systems, and promotes a sense of well-being.
- Endorphins - producing a pleasurable sensation similar to the “runner’s high” a jogger feels.
- Phenyl ethylamine - released when we are in love. Acts as mild mood elevator and anti-depressant, and helps increase focus and alertness.
- Anandamide - Promotes relaxation, and helps us feel good longer.
Essential Minerals: Cacao beans are rich in a number of essential minerals, including magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium and manganese.
- Magnesium - balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and helps regulate heartbeat and blood pressure. Magnesium deficiency is linked with migraines, PMT, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and joint problems.
- Sulphur - Sulphur builds strong nails and hair, promotes beautiful skin, detoxifies the liver, and supports healthy pancreas functioning.
