HOW FULL POWER CACAO CAN REDUCE STRESS AND CONNECT YOU SPIRITUALLY
We use FULL POWER CACAO in the exploration and fusion of the ancient practices of Yoga and Shamanism. Yoga means union and is a path to self realisation and enlightenment. Shamanism is the interaction with the spirit world and both are practices traditionally designed to lead us to the direct flow of wisdom and the embodiment of spirit. The end goal is to align us to our true nature.

CACAO AND THE CHAKRAS
Here we take a look at the relationship between Cacao and the Chakra system and how Cacao positively works on each chakra to bring us into balance and purification. Chakras have a strong bearing on our health, our state of mind and our relationships with others. Lady Cacao gives us an opportunity to move towards the fullest expression of who we truly are and this can be the catalyst in removing barriers in all areas of your life; relationships, fitness, laughter, love, fear of death, direction/life purpose and remembering our forgotten dreams. These can all be related to our Chakra system. To function at their best, our Chakras need to be balanced and Lady Cacao is a specialist at bringing our energy centres into harmony.
TOP 10 HEALTH BENEFITS OF FULL POWER CACAO
1. Natural Anti-Depressant
Cacao contains the essential amino acid tryptophan, which increases production of serotonin, an important brain chemical that helps us remain positive and happy. These neurotransmitters also remain in the bloodstream longer after ingesting cacao, creating a natural anti depressant benefit, while the theobromine content boosts energy levels and relieves fatigue. Cacao’s Greek name is ‘Theobroma Cacao’ which means ‘Food of the Gods’ and the benefits are found in the neurotransmitter modulating agents that act as natural antidepressants. FULL POWER CACAO is a source of magnesium and potassium, both of which are essential for normal psychological function and the running of the nervous system. Magnesium is seen as “The Original Chill Pill” and remedy for anxiety, apathy, depression, headaches, insecurity, irritability, restlessness and sulkiness.
2. Feel Good
As well as stopping you from feeling stressed and depressed, cacao actively makes you feel happier! Containing a powerful mix of beneficial natural compounds, including: serotonin, phenylethylamine, and anandamide known as the ‘The Bliss Molecule’, all of which have been shown to enhance mood and create feelings of euphoria. Phenethylamine triggers the release of endorphins and mood-enhancing neurochemicals in the brain and is a compound humans have been shown to produce when in love. These are also released naturally during love making, so it’s no wonder FULL POWER CACAO can be so euphoric!
3. Healthy Heart
Cacao is packed with flavonoids. These nutrients have been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots. Healthy blood flow is crucial to the successful function of all our organs and bodily processes. The circulatory system is responsible for transporting nutrients, water and oxygen to every cell in the body through a complex network of blood vessels, arteries and capillaries. Healthy blood flow is needed for the heart, brain, skin, eyes, liver, immune system, digestive system to work properly. Cacao is also a source of potassium which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Cacao is an easy way to get your flavonoid fix and support your heart health as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. Heart related illnesses are the number 1 cause of death globally. 20g of FULL POWER CACAO contains at least 200mg of Cacao flavanols, which has been scientifically proven and verified by EFSA to help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, supporting healthy blood flow.
4. Full Of Protein
Every cell in the human body contains protein, therefore it’s crucial to be eating it daily to repair cells and support the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Cacao contains 23% of natural protein, perfect for those looking to up their protein intake and for vegans and vegetarians who may not be getting enough protein in their diet. Cacao is also a source of potassium and magnesium with a single serving providing 15% and 26% Nutrient Reference Value respectively.
5. Brain Power
The flavonoids in cacao have been shown to have a positive effect on the brain and can counteract or slow down cognitive decline during ageing – helping improve various types of cognitive and visual tasks. This is a result of more efficient blood flow to different nerve tissues, which regulate and control bodily functions and activity. One study of healthy volunteers showed that after just 5 days of consuming Cacao there was improved blood flow to the brain. Further to this, a similar study by researchers showed that daily consumption of Cacao improved thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It is also known that a diet rich in flavonoids can help reduce the risk of dementia.
6. Healthy Gut
Cacao powder contains 33% fibre which stimulates the body’s digestive enzymes and helps with the absorption of nutrients, improving digestive function, gut health and bowel regularity. Fibre can also aid in weight management as it helps you feel fuller for longer.
7. Skin Benefits
Cacao contains 15 times more antioxidants than blueberries. Antioxidants protect our cells from premature oxidation or destruction and can keep us looking and feeling younger. They boost the production of collagen, increase cellular healing and counteract signs of ageing. Well hydrated skin is better protected against external influences and has a smooth, healthy glowing appearance.
8. Reduction of Tiredness and Fatigue
Cacao is super rich in magnesium and upping your magnesium intake is an easy, natural way to help reduce tiredness and fatigue. A study by Oxford Brookes Centre for Nutrition and Health has revealed that the high flavanol content of Cacao could help reduce fatigue in sufferers of multiple sclerosis (MS). Over 100,000 people in the UK are affected by MS and nine out of 10 patients suffer from tiredness. Researchers tested the use of flavonoid rich Cacao on 40 adult patients, who drank a cup of hot Cacao every day for six weeks. Participants were either given a flavanol-rich hot Cacao or a low -flavonoid version. Those given the high flavanol Cacao drink experienced a 45% improvement in alertness and an 80% boost in walking speed according to tests.
9. Muscle Growth and Fitness
The natural protein found in Cacao supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Thanks to its high magnesium and potassium content and being rich in electrolytes it maintains a good flow of oxygen to all our organs, muscles and tissues. This is key to athletic performance and post-workout recovery. Try it blended with banana for a pre or post workout smoothie.
10. Sexy Chocolate
Cacao has always been considered a ‘very powerful’ aphrodisiac, exotic food, and medicine, by the Mesoamerican and South American cultures, such as the Mayans, Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors. With the heart opening effect and extra blood flow to the genital area Cacao is so much more powerful than conventional Chocolate. Going into ceremony with a partner can allow a deeper heart based connection and add more sensuality and sensitivity to your exploration of one another.
