What can Cacao do for you? |
|
With more antioxidants than most foods on the planet, cacao has been known to help boost immunity. As a natural appetite suppressant, it is said to help reduce food cravings and speed weight loss. Cacao is an energizing food bursting with magnesium and phenylethylamine (PEA), which is the pleasure chemical found in the brains of people in love — no wonder people are so attracted to chocolate! Cacao is also a natural source of iron, and omega-6 fatty acids which play an important role in heart health and brain function, not to mention trace minerals such as manganese, zinc, and copper. |
