✨ Join us for the evening of ceremonial cacao this Friday ✨
Ceremonial cacao is often called “food of the gods” not just for its spiritual qualities but also because it’s packed with powerful nutrients that support body and mind. Here’s a breakdown of the main minerals and compounds and how they benefit us:
🌿 Key Minerals in Ceremonial Cacao🌿
✨Magnesium – relaxes muscles, calms the nervous system, supports heart health, and helps with stress and sleep.
✨Iron – boosts energy, supports healthy blood and oxygen flow, and strengthens immunity.
✨Calcium – essential for strong bones, teeth, and muscle function.
✨Potassium – regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and supports muscle recovery.
✨Zinc – strengthens the immune system, aids in healing, and supports skin health.
✨Copper – helps iron absorption and supports energy production.
✨Manganese – supports metabolism, bone strength, and antioxidant defenses.
🌿Active Compounds & Plant Nutrients🌿
✨Theobromine – a gentle stimulant (softer than caffeine) that enhances focus, improves mood, increases blood flow, and gives an uplifting energy without the crash.
✨Phenylethylamine (PEA) – known as the “love molecule,” it enhances feelings of joy, connection, and motivation.
✨Anandamide – the “bliss chemical,” supports feelings of well-being, presence, and inner peace.
✨Flavonoids & Antioxidants – protect the body from oxidative stress, support heart health, and reduce inflammation.
✨Tryptophan – an amino acid that helps produce serotonin (the “happy hormone”), supporting mood balance.
✨Healthy Fats – nourish the brain and support hormone health.
💫 Cacao is more than a drink—it’s a gentle heart medicine that brings clarity, energy, and connection. Come experience its gifts with us this Friday at 6pm in Darfield Community Centre.
