Describing raw chocolate as self help therapy is interesting. How does chocolate therapy work?

Chocolate's therapeutic benefits are simple and profound: eating chocolate makes you feel good! It's a pleasurable experience for your senses and with raw chocolate it's physiologically nourishing too.

Are regular chocolate's nutritional benefits destroyed when it's processed?

Processing chocolate:

• - makes the delicate oils in chocolate become transfatty, which create free radicals.
• - destroys all the enzymes and up to 80% of the vitamins and minerals
• - frequently contaminates the chocolate with lead
• - most chocolate is also stripped of its flavanols as these are the bitter parts of chocolate

How much raw chocolate can I eat?

You could be highly chocolate deficient and in need of several pieces. Katherine Hepburn ate a pound a day and said that was the reason for her ageless beauty.

Does raw chocolate get converted into energy faster that regular chocolate?

Foods in their natural raw state contain enzymes. Enzymes control the metabolic process of digesting food into energy. But enzymes are very sensitive to heat and can be lost in food if they are heated at high temperatures. Foods rich in enzymes will metabolize quicker and convert fats to energy faster. As raw chocolate is enzyme rich, the fats are quickly converted into energy to help you dance all night.

 

Where should I store my raw chocolate?

Raw chocolate is delicate and should be kept in a cool, dry place or in your fridge. We highly recommend storing at least one on your tongue for 5 minutes everyday.
