RAW CACAO CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING NUTRIENTS:
Iron. Dark chocolate can contain more than 10 milligrams (mg) of iron in a 100-gram serving.
Magnesium. There’s more than 250mg of magnesium in 100 grams of dark chocolate.
Zinc. Zinc can be found in chocolate with a 90% cocoa content. This mineral helps support your immune system.
Flavonols. Flavonols are nutrient compounds that are found in plants. They have antioxidant properties, help fight certain cancers, and promote a healthy heart.
Amino acid. Dark chocolate has an amino acid called tryptophan, which sends signals to your brain that help you relax.
Copper. Copper is essential for brain development, helps your body take in iron, and assists your body in metabolizing glucose. A 100-gram serving of dark chocolate has 31% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA).
While not psychedelic,Raw Cacao is a psychoactive medicine, which means that it stimulates your nervous system leading to improved brain function, optimising concentration, memory, processing speed and enhancing mental performance. Its active stimulant is Theobromine
Raw Cacao is one of the richest foods in magnesium, supporting heart health, relaxing the muscles, the joints, the nervous system and optimal brain health.
Another powerful component of Raw Cacao is tryptophan. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin. The combination of tryptophan and magnesium support serotonin release in the brain.
Theobromine is also found in cacao. Theobromine is known as being a vasodilator, allowing the blood vessels to relax and stimulating blood flow. Theobroma = “God” These components combine to form a beautiful duality of feeling awake and energised while also feeling relaxed bringing about a balance of clarity and focus.
Cacao stimulates the production of oxytocin, the hormone normally created through human touch. Cacao gives us an inner warmth and feeling of self-love through this hormone, as well as providing a boost in serotonin and dopamine.
Cacao also contains “anandamide", a rarer hormone that is only ever produced in large quantities in the process of being born and in giving birth.
RAW CACAO AND WEIGHT LOSS
Often referred to as the ‘food of the gods’, raw cacao is especially high in fibre and essential fatty acids, both of which trigger sustained feelings of satiety and thus significantly reduce the temptation to graze on other more unhealthy treats.
Not only that – raw cacao boasts an abundance of chromium, an important trace element linked to weight loss. Our day-to-day diet is frequently lacking in chromium and, to make matters worse, the valuable nutrient is often excreted from our bodies in a response to too much sugar. Dr Richard Anderson, a leading scientist from the Human Nutrition Center of the US Department of Agriculture, identified seven independent studies in which chromium consumption was directly linked to a decrease in body fat. Even the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council advocates the consumption of between 50 and 200 micrograms of chromium per day…and what better way to obtain your daily quota of chromium than from a yummy raw chocolate bar?
Thankfully raw cacao products also contain none of the fattening sugars or milk that are routinely found in standard chocolate, making them an absolutely ideal snack for those trying to lose weight.
RAW CACAO AND INCREASED ENERGY
Magnesium is also an excellent source of raw energy and, as if that wasn’t enough to tempt you, raw cacao benefits from a strong concentration of PEA (phenylethylamine. Sometimes called the ‘love drug’, PEA has been associated with a demonstrable increase in libido, in addition to its proficiency for boosting energy levels.
That’s perhaps why raw cacao products are as popular with the romantically inclined (incidentally, raw cacao butter also doubles as a wickedly sensuous massage oil), as they are with high performance athletes!
