Antioxidants:
Cacao contains high levels of antioxidants, specifically phenols, which fight the free radicals that can harm body tissue. Per ounce, chocolate has more antioxidants than fruits, vegetables, tea or wine.
1.5 oz of dark chocolate contains as much antioxidants as 5 oz. of red wine.
Higher cacao content means higher antioxidants. Dark chocolate has twice the antioxidants of milk chocolate. Cacao powder has almost twice the antioxidants of dark chocolate.
Other Benefits:
- Cacao has been associated with a decrease in diabetes and blood pressure.
- Cacao is rich in B1, B2 and D vitamins as well as minerals like magnesium and iron.
- Cacao is a proven vasodilator, helping increase stamina during exercise.
- Cacao is cholesterol free. Its phenolic properties may block oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
- Chocolate is shown to reduce depression and stimulate euphoria – due to phenylthylamine.
- Serotonin, a well-studied neurotransmitter, is thought to instill calm and relaxed feelings.
