When you see the average chocolate bar, most of us see a guilty pleasure filled with weight gain, sugar spikes, and one that is dairy-laden and toxic for those who are lactose intolerant….and although super satisfying for the moment, it is just bad for your health.
But when you look at pure, organic, unprocessed and sustainably harvested Cacao or organic chocolate you should see health and wellness in a God-given gift to us.
Cacao is actually good for your skin, and even good for weight loss!
Cacao moisturizes skin from the inside out, and is an aphrodisiac.
When added with Maca, you now have a powerhouse superfood for hormone balancing and a mood uplifting antioxidant.
Make sure you drink a lot of water with cacao consumption since it is a drying food.
Cacao is high in Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamin A, B1,2,3 and 6, Magnesium, Chromium, Omega 6, Fiber and Enzymes. It is truly a complex food and one of the most complex known to man.
It grows in the Equator “belt” around the world in tropical climates, and you can pick the Cacao nuts off the tree and taste the true chocolate goodness. It is a true Health Food.
Once you have had Vegan [no milk/dairy] and Organic Cacao in a chocolate bar, powder, or any other preparation, you will never tolerate the contaminated, pesticide-laden and highly, HIGHLY processed chocolate ‘bars’ that have very little chocolate in them.
In addition to this toxic overload and the non-ecological practice of highly advertised, highly processed ‘chocolate’ concoctions, you are seeing the product of human slavery and unfair business practices that have enslaved and abused people in places like the Ivory Coast of Africa that produce what is really a bloody trade in this highly prized product.
Buy hand made, small batch products that are made with Organic, pure Cacao and taste the difference.
Stock up on them from various small companies whom you can find in places like Etsy or just doing a search online. Many health food stores, Whole Foods and other naturally minded Grocers are now selling Vegan, sustainably made Cacao bars and powder.
Feel good about your natural choices and be a true Health Warrior for your life and for the planet.
