CACAO = ACCESS
We all know there is something about chocolate that just makes us feel good.
But did you know that cacao - the plant that chocolate comes from - contains several mood enhancing compounds associated with pleasure, happiness and well being? That’s right! Cacao makes you feel good!
Cacao is rich in flavonoids, particularly epicatechin, which supports heart health by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation and promoting healthy blood pressure levels.
Some research suggests cacao’s flavonoids have a positive impact on cognitive function. Regular consumption may support memory and overall brain health.
And cacao helps reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and a sense of well being. The magnesium in cacao is a big contributor to this.
A cacao ceremony is a kind of plant medicine journey. Lake Atitlan in Guatemala is home for the man they call the Chocolate Shaman – aka Keith Wilson. Keith’s Cacao is one of the most conscious, lovingly produced and revered products you can find. It is the real thing. No other cacao compares. A link to his site is found below.

Cacao was often traded with other countries and this is how it spread to other parts of the world. Consuming the food of the Gods seems like a good choice.
Cacao is a good source of essential nutrients like magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, and various vitamins, especially B vitamins.
