Geronimo Piperni, quoted by Antonio Lavedán,
Spanish army surgeon,1796
Well, I promised you good news for March and here it is…While processed forms of sweets, cookies, cake, pies etc. may not be good for you, organic dark chocolate has many health benefits! This is great news for me as I am a dark chocolate lover. Imagine how happy I am to be able to share these health benefits of dark chocolate.
Cocoa powder is rich in antioxidants. However, it was thought that these molecules were poorly digested and absorbed due to their large size
New research revealed that your gut bacteria breaks down and ferments the components in dark chocolate, turning them into anti-inflammatory compounds that benefit your health
Beneficial gut microbes including Bifidobacterium and lactic acid bacteria “feasted” on chocolate, creating anti-inflammatory compounds that may reduce inflammation of cardiovascular tissue
A wide range of accumulating scientific research has linked chocolate consumption to over 40 distinct health benefits
The closer your cocoa is to its natural raw state, the higher its nutritional value; ideally, your chocolate or cocoa should be consumed raw (cacao).
