Both Cocoa and Acai berry have enjoyed centuries of use as a food staple and in folk medicine to cleanse and detoxify. Many phytoceuticals in cocoa support the heart muscles, strengthen blood vessel walls, and may inhibit atherosclerosis, thereby reducing the risk of edema, stroke, and heart failure. These polyphenols, a broad group of plant nutrients that act as antioxidants, relieve inflammation, protect against radiation and can help clear the arteries with this Healthy Dark Chocolate.

Research shows that chronic inflammation is strongly linked to various conditions ranging from cancer and cardiovascular disease to diabetes and dementia. Both cocoa and Acai Berries are very rich in polyphenols, and perform many other helpful duties. Powerful polyphenol nutrients found in cocoa and Acai (including catechins, proanthocyanidins and vitamin C and E) are known to to be able to inhibit different inflammatory mechanisms.

Dark Chocolate improved the health of blood vessels in study participants by making arteries more relaxed and responsive and improved insulin levels. These benefits were attributed to the presence of high levels of beneficial anti-aging flavonoids in Dark Chocolate. Did you know that the benefits of Dark Chocolate may help balance good and bad cholesterol? Healthy Dark Chocolate is cold pressed Belgian cocoa that has no cholesterol. In a recent study, participants enjoyed a twelve point reduction in systolic (top) blood pressure. The study also showed an average 13% drop in levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol. Dark Chocolate can supply the body with crucial minerals, one being magnesium. A high magnesium intake lowers blood pressure and reduces risk of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

CNN: “A recent study found that those with high blood pressure who ate 3-5 ounce Dark Chocolate daily for 15 days were rewarded with lower blood pressure, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and improved sugar metabolism. FORBES: Over a 15year period said: “men who ate cocoa regularly had significantly lower blood pressure, men who consumed the highest amount of cocoa were half as likely to die from cardiovascular disease and men who ate the most cocoa were less likely to die from ANY causes. TIME Magazine said ”Antioxidants in chocolate may help protect against cancer, moderate blood pressure, and other ingredients elevate mood.”

The Acai Berry is the 2nd highest source of antioxidants in the world! It is also a superfood rich in amino acids, essential fatty acids, iron & protein.

Unprocessed Healthy Dark Chocolate versus Store Bought Chocolate. Most store bought chocolate has been stripped of flavonols and phytonutrients and loaded with with chemical additives. Most Dark Chocolate products found on store shelves use processed cocoa powder and sugars, along with bad fats, fillers, waxes, preservatives and high amounts of calories. If you want health grade Dark Chocolate, look for a product that is at least 70 percent cocoa solids by weight.

Only unprocessed, Healthy Dark Chocolate (more than 70% cacao by mass) yields these marked health benefits. Unprocessed Dark Chocolate standardized for potency and purity is an excellent replacement for other candies (including white and milk chocolate). Cacao in its unheated & unprocessed pure form is the #1 most potent antioxidant superfood on the planet without the bad fats, waxes, fillers, dairy, sugar & caffeine associated with other chocolates!
