Dark chocolate is a medicine end of one
00:00:04
of the best medicines around is 50 grams
00:00:08
to 100 grams of 75% or more dark
00:00:12
chocolate. Do
00:00:13
you know what I've just realized? My
00:00:14
girlfriend, she's going to live till
00:00:15
she's 150 because she all she eats 90%
00:00:19
or something 80% dark chocolate. She
00:00:23
drinks green tea all day.
00:00:24
She should be stepping in for you.
00:00:26
Seriously.
00:00:28
Brain health as well.
00:00:29
Mhm. cardiovascular health. I mean they
00:00:32
just they do studies where they've put
00:00:34
cocoa into volunteers and they were able
00:00:37
to show changes in the blood flow within
00:00:41
minutes certainly within an hour of
00:00:45
eating cocoa.
00:00:46
They call it the heart medicine. My
00:00:48
girlfriend's very spiritual. She runs a
00:00:50
business called Barley Breathwork. Um
00:00:51
hashtag ad if I have to say that. But in
00:00:54
her business, one of the things she does
00:00:55
at the very start of the session with
00:00:57
women all over the world that come to
00:00:58
her retreats is she makes cacao for
00:01:01
them. And
00:01:03
you notice instantly how people change
00:01:06
when they've had a hot cup of cacao.
00:01:08
It's and and she says it like almost
00:01:10
brings out their heart. And I guess
00:01:12
that's because of the circulation
00:01:13
reasons. It is. But it also of course we
00:01:16
know it contains a few other beneficial
00:01:19
stimulate stimulating effects sort of
00:01:21
similar to the effects with coffee which
00:01:24
in certainly as I've already said is a
00:01:25
medicine as well but cocoa and chocolate
00:01:28
does have a uplifting effect which is
00:01:31
why we love it. So
00:01:32
and we have to be clear here we're not
00:01:34
talking about hot chocolate that comes
00:01:36
from a packet or something necessarily.
00:01:38
We would like it to be as dark as
00:01:39
possible. 75% cocoa solids, you know, so
00:01:42
it's dark chocolate and it tastes a bit
00:01:45
more medicinal, doesn't it? It's not as
00:01:46
sweet.
00:01:47
Um, but I'm saying to many of my
00:01:49
patients, take 50 grams a day.
00:01:52
Really,
00:01:53
it's a medicine.
