let’s talk about the health benefits of cacao  and dark chocolate now cacao is the raw bean  

that’s then fermented and processed into chocolate  okay but there are some serious health benefits to  

both of these items in fact six billion pounds is  consumed on a yearly basis it is loaded with some  

serious phytonutrients polyphenols and flavonols  which is more in quantity than blueberries or  

acai berries now there’s a tiny bit of caffeine  involved but you have a good amount of theobromine  

which is a stimulant so of course if you’re going  to consume this later in the day or before bed  

that may keep you up now i consume a little bit  of chocolate on a regular basis not too much but  

i always consume no sugar type chocolate i always  make sure that it’s organic because they do spray  

different chemicals including using glyphosate i  primarily use these two brands right here there’s  

other ones that you can get as well but they’re  usually flavored with erythritol and monk fruit  

or stevia so there’s quite a variety that you  can choose from all right let’s look at the  

benefits of cacao and dark chocolate there’s  some seriously amazing benefits for the heart  

decrease blood pressure because you’re getting  increased nitric oxide which actually helps the  

smooth muscle of the arteries now the blood  pressure effect can also happen due to the  

high levels of magnesium it’s also loaded with  iron and potassium and copper and phosphorus and  

zinc number two it can increase your hdl decrease  your ldl especially the oxidized ldl number three  

major studies showing the decrease in risk of  heart disease okay this is the big one right here  

decreasing endothelial dysfunction this is where  heart disease starts it’s the inside of the layer  

of the artery specifically the coronary  that starts to become damaged and then the  

cholesterol comes and the calcium comes and builds  up plaquing and a clot and so these antioxidants  

protect the inside layer of the artery of  course if you consume chocolate without the  

sugar which is like you know sandpaper on the  arteries all right number four decreasing cortisol  

and adrenaline this is why many times  people consume chocolate to reduce stress  

all right number five it may decrease the risk  of certain cancers number six decreasing insulin  

improves insulin resistance okay number  seven you can decrease the risk of strokes  

number eight it can elevate your mood and bring  someone from a depressed state to a higher level  

they don’t know exactly why this is it could be  because of the increase in serotonin it could be  

because of the theobromine but it can also be  from the polyphenols okay but regardless it  

seems to create a cool effect number nine  it can increase your physical performance  

ten it can really help the skin’s circulation  probably because of this nitric oxide right here  

the texture of your skin the hydration of your  skin and number eleven which is quite amazing  

which relates to number three it can decrease  metabox syndrome which is a combination of  

improving your blood sugars cholesterol  and blood pressure the only thing i want  

to mention about cacao or chocolate is  that it does have higher amounts of oxlets
