CACAO is the darling superfood of people everywhere. In the raw, unroasted “cacao” state (and even a good organic cocoa) contains flavonoids and antioxidants, both of which are heart-healthy. These compounds help reduce the risk of stroke, improve blood circulation and cholesterol levels, and support healthy arterial tissue; yes, you can drink your “aspirin” a day! Cacao boosts serotonin, the brain chemical responsible for putting you in a good mood, and it also reduces the stress hormone cortisol.
