Better Body Chemistry
for chocoholics
Quick summary of the science :
Welcome to a treasure trove for everyone who adores chocolate. Originating from the seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, which aptly translates to ‘food of the gods’ in Greek, chocolate has been celebrated for centuries, not just for its irresistible taste but also for its intriguing health benefits. The journey of chocolate begins with the cocoa pods, primarily harvested in the tropical climates of West Africa and the Americas, where they are carefully fermented and dried to begin their transformation into the chocolate we crave.
At the heart of chocolate’s allure is the rich, dark cocoa packed with flavonoids—powerful antioxidants known to help reduce inflammation and improve heart health among other benefits.From its ancient use as a ceremonial drink to its current status as a beloved treat, chocolate’s complex chemistry interacts with our bodies in fascinating ways that can contribute to better health when consumed wisely.
