Chocolate Is a Superfood!

Delicious & healthy… what's not to love?

We have great news for you. Dark chocolate is actually a superfood! Woo-hoo!! When you consume the right type of dark chocolate, you can look forward to some surprising benefits.

Throughout history, dark chocolate (or cacao, as it's called before being made into a chocolate bar) has been hailed as a health tonic. The mesoamerican cultures believed that the cacao bean was a sacred food handed down by the gods to provide stamina, heal numerous diseases and reduce fatigue.

And the mesoamericans did have a magical bean...

Centuries later, we find that dark chocolate is loaded with organic compounds that are biologically active and function as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Dark chocolate also increases serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain lifting your mood, decreasing stress and increasing energy.

How should I consume chocolate?

To get the most benefits from dark chocolate, avoid any light candy bars and chocolate chips.
