Function
1. Cardiovascular Health – The minerals and vitamins found in cacao has been shown to help with a variety of cardiovascular issues such as lowering high cholesterol, balancing blood pressure and reversing heart disease.
2. Digestion – Cacao stimulates the body's production of digestive enzymes, while the amount of fiber included with each serving supports digestion.
3. Neutralization of Free Radicals – Free radicals can be found in many places (sun exposure, cigarette smoke, pollution). The high level of antioxidants provided by raw chocolate can neutralize these extremely damaging agents.
4. Mental Well Being – One of the fats found in chocolate is called anadamide and is named after the Sanskrit word for "bliss." It activates a receptor which increases dopamine production. Eating chocolate also releases endorphins into the brain which decreases levels of pain and stress.
5. Weight Loss – It is hard to believe that chocolate could actually help you lose weight. However, when not infused with sugar, milk and starch, the cacao bean (or its byproducts such as nibs or powder) can promote weight loss. Low fat cacao products can actually even have a negative calorie value.
