The Amazing Health Benefits of Raw Cacao Beans
By Dr. Paul Haider
Raw Cacao is a very healthy alternative to processed chocolate… and raw cacao has many amazing health benefits.
Raw Cacao contains theobromine which is a stimulant that is not addictive and works wonders for depression and also helps with PMS. In the brain the production of the neurotransmitter “Anandamide” is increased… and thus there is an increase in endorphins and serotonin and that causes a blissful soothing feeling… full of pleasure and elation. Plus it also stimulates the mind in a natural way.
Raw Cacao also has many wonderful fatty acids that help to lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL or good cholesterol. Raw cacao also contains a huge amount of antioxidants(more than 10 times the amount found in green tea, blue berries, goji berries, red wine, and even grape seed extract). Those antioxidants prevent diseases such as cardiovascular disease, strokes, and cancer… and fight off free radicals thus helping to slow the ageing process and boost the immune system.
Raw Cacao contains palmitic acid, steric acid, oleic acid, the proteins leucine, glutamine, Arginine, and polyphenols, catechin, copper, iron, zinc, chromium, phosphorus, soluble fiber, lipase, amylase, catalase, magnesium, epicatechin, Vitamin A,C, B, E, phenetheylamine, tryptophane for relaxation, asparaginease which helps fight cancer, Omega 6 fatty acids, ergrosterol which becomes Vitamin D, flavonoids, coumarin which is a good blood thinning agent and helps to control appetite, resveratrol which is a powerful antioxidant, sulfur, and other micronutrients.
