Hot cuppa creamy cacao

Written By Shahrzad Babapour

Start your day with a hot cuppa creamy cacao! Cacao is stimulating yet contains half the caffeine of a brewed cup of coffee. It is loaded with polyphenol based antioxidants that are good for the gut, and magnesium, supportive of bone health, essential for energy production and is an antispasmodic and relaxant that relaxes muscles and the nervous system, which is a reason why women often crave chocolate before/during their periods.
