We All Love Chocolate and think it make us fat, but do You Really Know How Great Chocolate is for You?
In the ancient Aztec and Incas times chocolate or ‘Cacao’ was sacred and was associated with fertility and love. It was considered a food for the gods and was used as currency.
Now, why do I call it Cacao and not Cocoa? Raw cacao is the unprocessed bean used to make cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is processed and some of the natural fats are removed.
The beans from the cacao tree contain powerful antioxidants that are known to help eliminate deadly free radicals from your body. In fact, CACAO has the highest ORAC and powerful antioxidant rating per 100g, way in front of ‘Acai’ berries or ‘Goji’ berries.
Cacao is a also a rich source of:
Zinc – Helps with Immune System
Iron – which fights back anemia
Fiber – Cleanses digestive system
Cardiovascular cleansing compounds – Reduces the risk of blood clotting
Chromium – Balances blood sugar levels
Manganese – Formation of hemoglobin
Vitamin C – Is a Super Medicine
So what’s the problem with our modern day chocolate? I’ll tell you what it is!
It’s the pounds of white refined sugar and pasteurized homogenized milk that’s added to it.
White sugar is a very harsh carbohydrate that acts as a drug causing your hormone levels to spike. Pasteurized homogenized milk comes from thousands of cows. Some of them sick and most of them treated with antibiotics and growth hormones.
But there is a better way to make your own chocolate at home. This is a chocolate that’s super-healthy and actually melts pounds causing rapid fat loss.
