Healthy Chocolate, I know it sounds strange to say it. However, not all chocolate is healthy and let me tell you why.

Commercial chocolate is high in white sugar, trans fat, hydrogenated oil, wax, fillers, and preservatives. And then they add caffeine… to hook ya’!

Dark chocolate contains flavonoids which have been found to moderate blood pressure among other things.

A moderate amount of dark healthy chocolate, particularly cocoa may be sweet for the cardiovascular system. Eating dark chocolate can help bring down blood pressure and protect against tooth decay.

It may also be brain food. It can help improve the function of important cells lining the wall of the blood vessels for at least 3 hours. It may also lower LDL(bad) cholesterol and improve sugar metabolism.

Antioxidant scores are so high in pure cocoa, many people are now referring to cocoa as a superfood. Healthy dark chocolate is low glycemic, sweetened with complex sugar, and absorbs slowly into your body.

Free Radicals are damaged molecules that do harm to your body.

You can’t avoid them, when you breathe you burn oxygen and make free radicals as a by product. Under stress you make more. We live in a society of pollution, take medications, eat fast foods, travel on airplanes, all these things and many more load you up with free radicals.

Free radicals have been tied into over 200 degenerative disease processes by the medical community, so you want to interupt their activity, and the way to do that is to take antioxidants. An antioxidant neutralizes the free radicals and keep it from doing anymore damage.

Dr. Ricahrd Cutler – Anti-Aging Reasearch Dept. National Institute of Health Washington D.C. states : The amount of antioxidants that you maintain in your body is directly proportional to how long and healthy you will live. So the length of your life is tied into the antioxidant intake.

The ORAC Scale = Nutrients for each individual fruit and vegatable and assigned them point scales for their ability to neutralize free radicals. Minimum antioxidant of 3000 per day, optimally you need 12-15,000 a day, we normally get around 800.
