Last week I was in San Diego, giving a keynote speech to open the fantastic new children’s museum. I met a plethora of amazing eco-chefs and vendors and spent the night sampling endless organic delights. I have to share one of my finds: If you are a chocolate lover, I seriously suggest you try some of Marcie’s chocolate, as it is absolutely divine and to my great surprise, really healthy – check out the following:
What’s all this about healthy chocolate?
Rejoice, chocolate lovers — your favorite treat really is good for you. For centuries civilizations around the world have known that Theobroma Cacao (The Food of the Gods) enriches the body, mind and soul. Traditionally, it has been a sacred source of strength and stamina, power and passion, health and happiness.
Today science is catching up with our ancestors. The latest news about chocolate — that it significantly lowers blood pressure — adds to earlier evidence that chocolate makes blood vessels more flexible, helps prevent blood clotting, stabilizes glucose levels, and may even lift your spirits.
Polyphenols, natural antioxidants found in the cocoa bean, may be the key to many of these health benefits. A study of chocolate’s antioxidant properties found dark chocolate to contain levels much higher than even blueberries, famed as a superfood.
According to leading nutritionists, dark chocolate with the most concentrated cocoa will be the most beneficial. That is why we are proud to offer only premium dark chocolate with high percentages of cocoa. For your health.
So with the wonderful truth about chocolate finally revealed, you need to get you mitts on some of Marcie’s chocolate. I love her chocolate chips – they are fantastic for kids and I love “The Secret” for an afternoon snack: a blend of macadamia nuts, chocolate chips and raisins (all organic).
