The healing power of chocolate, not any ordinary chocolate

Hot chocolate with house-made marshmallow...what an organic way to spend the afternoon

Quoted from Cacao7...
Research has shown that Cacao (Cocoa) increases the body's natural production of endorphins (the feel-good neurotransmitters). It is by far the most potent endorphin-producing food on earth. Cacao also contains flavonoids that lower blood pressure, improve blood flow and cholesterol. It is no wonder that chocolate is known by the Greeks as the "food of the Gods"! Be sure to choose chocolates that at least 70% cacao and aim to have about 1 oz or 30g per day.
