Healthy Chocolate Is Here!
Most Americans think chocolate is just a sweet candy created recently. Actually chocolate has been consumed for thousands of years dating back to the Mayans. These people used the cocoa bean to make a bitter beverage. This beverage was revered for many nourishing qualities including its ability to provide stamina and energy. It played and important role in their religion, social interactions and economy.
Today chocolate is a popular as ever and has come full circle. We now know the benefits of consuming pure dark chocolate much like the ancient people used to consume. The more pure cocoa powder the chocolate contains the more beneficial it will be. Pure cocoa powder contains higher quantities of polyphenols and procyanadins – these are powerful phytonutrients that act as antioxidants. Most commercial cocoa products are alkalinized – or “dutched” – the biggest problem is that it removes most of the chocolate’s nutritional benefit. Therefore, the healthiest chocolate is cold-processed and not alkalinized. This type of chocolate is now available in our office.
Is Your Body Rusting?
The anti-oxidants in chocolate are what make it so healthy. Your body creates billions of destructive molecules every second. These destructive molecules, also called free radicals, create oxidation – like rust on an old car – or oxidative stress. Fortunately for us, our body makes many anti-oxidants that fight the destructive forces of oxidative stress. Glutathione, uric acid, lipoic acid and Co-enzyme Q10 are just a few that are produced in our body. The other anti-oxidants we obtain from our food like vitamins C and E are selenium and phyto (plant)-nutrients. It is the phyto-nutrients that we get from our 9 servings of fruit and vegetables daily. There are several very powerful anti-oxidant phyto-nutrients in cold-processed dark chocolate. These serve not only to fight oxidative stress but also to decrease inflammation. Plants actually create these substances to protect themselves from predators, and pests – like mold, bacteria, UV light and other diseases. Pretty interesting those plants can also protect us from some of the same things. The need for anti-oxidants increases with increased demands on your body. Stressors can be anything from life’s demands and crisis’s to the food we eat. The food we eat contains many messages beyond just the nutrients. If our choices are poor quality, nutrient depleted processed food we are sending our body stressful, pro-inflammatory, oxidative stress messages. If we choose healthier, whole, real food we send our body anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant messages. Healthy dark chocolate increases the healthy messages sent to your cells stops your body from rusting like an old car. Just give us a call and order yours today.
