Further information:

Magnesium:

• Magnesium is the primarily mineral missing when heart problems occur.
• Magnesium increases the overall vigor of the heart muscle.
• This mineral also decreases blood coagulation thus lowering blood pressure and helping the heart pump more effectively.
• Cacao, of course, is a fantastic food source of heart-supporting magnesium.

Antioxidants:

• According to research cited in The New York Times, fresh cacao beans are super-rich in antioxidant flavonols.
• Cacao beans contain 10,000 milligrams (10 grams) per 100 grams of flavonol antioxidants.
• This is a whopping 10% antioxidant concentration level!
• This makes cacao one of the richest sources of antioxidants of any food.

Anti-Depressant Properties:

• Cacao is a great source of serotonin, dopamine, and phenylethylamine, three well-studied neurotransmitters, which help alleviate depression and are associated with feelings of well being.
• Cacao contains monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO Inhibitors) that improve our mood because they allow serotonin and dopamine to remain in the bloodstream longer without being broken down.
• Cacao contains anandamide which delivers blissful feelings.
• Cacao also contains B vitamins, which are associated with brain health.
• Cacao contains significant quantities of the amino acid tryptophan which is yet another powerful mood-enhancing nutrient.
• All this makes cacao a natural Anti-Depressant!

Weight Management:

• Anyone who eats chocolate knows that it diminishes appetite.
• There is evidence indicating MAOIs also diminish appetite.
• There is actually no scientific evidence to implicate chocolate consumption with obesity.
• In fact the reverse seems to be the case.
• Eating cacao helps one to loose weight by allowing you to eat less.
