    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.
