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