Today we're taking a moment to introduce you to just one of the health benefits of cacao. Cacao has been consumed for more than 5000 years by the Mayans and Aztecs. It has a long history of powerful health benefits that most folks are unaware of.
Today we'll learn how Cacao can keep you looking and feeling Young!
*The Aztecs not only believed that cacao was something spiritual, but they also believed it was connected with eternal youth and vigor. Today, scientific studies have found that the regular (if not daily) consumption of cacao can indeed keep you looking younger for a longer period of time. Cacao is rich in antioxidants which we all know we need a ton of each day to help fight free radicals in the body. Free radicals are harmful substances, specifically atoms that have lost an electron and become unstable. These unstable atoms form in the body as a reaction to stress. Once formed, they can cause all sorts of havoc to the body, by interacting with your cells thru a process known as lipid peroxidation and this process will physically damage your cells. Specifically, scientific studies have shown that excessive free radicals can cause the body and brain to age faster than usual. We can stop this dreaded process by consuming mor antioxidants, because antioxidants are naturally able to stop the free radicals cause and they are able to limit the number of free radicals in the body.
With the regular consumption of Cacao, you'll still age but more slowly and this is not only true for the appearance of your skin, but also for the rest of your body! Regular aging woes such as deteriorating joints, brain health and organ health may slow down when free radicals don't have the chance to ravage your body!
Join us for our Cacao Ceremony on 12/19 @ 6:30PM to experience this wonderful plant medicine.
