Here are some of the benefits of using Cocoa instead of processed Chocolate:
Flavonoids in Chocolate
Of much greater interest in the context of health benefits are the rich flavonoid content of raw cocoa and the relatively rich flavonoid content of some chocolates and cocoas. Flavonoids are part of a large and diverse class of phytochemicals called polyphenols. Several thousand flavonoids exist in substantial amounts in common plant-based foods, such as tea, chocolate, cocoa, soybeans, and wine. Epidemiological research, which studies the association between diet and health, in the last decade, has suggested that some flavonoids might protect against certain chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease.
Other Fun Facts!
Chocolate's antioxidant potency roughly matches that of gallic acid, another potent antioxidant, and is even more effective at cutting oxidation of (LDL) than those in red wine (consumption of which has been found to reduce significantly an individual's risk of heart attack).
Chocolate and Dental Caries
Cocoa and chocolate have been shown to reduce the demineralization process-an activity which directly results in the formation of dental caries. In a study conducted at the Eastman Dental Center in Rochester, New York. The researchers reported that: "Chocolate has a high content of protein, calcium, phosphate and other minerals, all of which have exhibited protective effects on tooth enamel.
Chocolate contains copper (.8mg per 100g) which enhances red blood cells' ability to carry oxygen. The average woman is deficient in copper. A good source of copper is liver but wouldn't you rather eat chocolate?
PEA(Phenylethylamine) is followed closely by theobroma as the chocolate chemical most responsible for lifting depressions. It is one of a group of plant-based stimulants called methylxanthines whose best-known member is caffeine. Chocolate has straight caffeine, too, but in very small amounts (70mg/100g). The effects of theobroma are similar to, but milder than caffeine's, and include alertness and decreased fatigue.
Chocolate's high level of magnesium (131mg per 100 g) is also credited with adding to the euphoria one gets from eating chocolate. Magnesium levels are found to be low during menstruation.
Serotonin (3mg/100g) and tyramine (2mg/100g) are also present in chocolate and provide a mild calming, balancing effect.
Here are some of the health benefits of using raw organic Maca Powder:
Phytochemical screening showed that extract of Red Maca has alkaloids, steroids, tannins, saponins, and cardiotonic glycosides. Examination of three ecotypes of Maca showed the highest peak values were observed for Red Maca, intermediate values for Yellow Maca and low values for Black Maca. Epidemiological studies have found that consumption of cruciferous vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Cruciferous (Brassica) vegetables are broccoli, cabbage, mustard and collard greens, bok choy, and members of the genus Lepidium, including Maca. In the many hundreds of cruciferous species investigated, all are able to synthesize glucosinolates. The absolute content of glucosinolates in fresh Maca is relatively higher than reported in other cruciferous crops. The most abundant glucosinolates detected in Maca were the aromatic glucosinolates. It is possible that Lepidium meyenii (Red Maca) may have important effects on the prostate.
The organic Maca root has been used in Peru since before the times of the ancient Incans. The maca plant is similar to a radish or turnip and has amazing properties and is becoming more well known of for its effectiveness in health challenges, including osteoporosis, male impotence, menopause, menstrual difficulties, chronic fatigue, and depression.
