Increasing energy levels, promoting feelings of comfort and bliss, improving blood circulation, providing an enormous quantity of antioxidants, acting as an aphrodisiac.

Cacao powder is produced from cacao beans which are ground into a thick cacao paste. After the separation of cacao butter from the solid mass the remainder is dried and ground into powder. As cacao beans contain a lot of antioxidants, so does cacao powder, especially flavonoids. Because of them, cacao acts preventively against cancerous and cardiovascular diseases.

Apricot kernels – Food of Acient Tribes

katarina — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:44:45 +0000

Neutralizing the effects of free radicals, preventing against prematurely aging signs, helping with secreting mucus from the body, preventing against cancerous diseases.

Apricot kernels are the kernels found inside apricot pits and have a strong bitter taste. Vitamin B17 (amygdalin) gives them their bitterness and transforms into cyanide in the body. Cyanide is toxic in larger amounts, but useful in moderate amounts (up to 10 apricot kernels a day) because weak and diseased cells (e.g. cancerous) are not able to metabolize it and cannot survive. Vitamin B17 is also connected with the lowering of blood pressure and soothing of arthritis pain. Apricot kernels contain a broad spectrum of antioxidants that neutralize the effects of free radicals, responsible for the premature signs of aging.

madmin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 06:53:22 +0000

It is known that daily nutrition of Aztecs consisted of four staple foods: amaranth, beans, corn and chia seeds. Chia seeds were eaten all over the South and Middle America, among Maya and Inca people as well, be it on their own, mixed with amaranth, grounded into flour or made into delicious drink. They were also cold pressed into oil, used for body paints. People of »the new world« probably didn’t pay much attention to nutritional composition of these tiny seeds, but they surely knew one thing – the seeds worked for them.

Guarana – the power of Amazon

madmin — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 06:58:24 +0000

Guarana, a plant native to the Amazone basin, always played an important medical and dietary role among the native people of Amazon rainforest. It has been used especially for boosting energy during daily physical efforts and there are even native legends about it. However, our western civilization noticed guarana only after scientific researches, discovering the nutrients inside its black seeds.

The seeds contain many tannins, a few proteins and starch, but a substance, which makes guarana so interesting, is guaranin. Guaranin is actually almost identical to caffeine, which has a pretty bad reputation among people today. There’s a lot written about coffee being bad, and they mostly argument it with caffeine. Not a lot of people ask themselves, what caffeine truly is? Working as a diuretic, increasing energy, cleaning the vein system… – doesn’t hear bad at all, does it? The truth is, coffee is bad not because of caffein, but due to many other dangerous substances, that appear in it during the procedure of browning and further production of the final product.

Guarana is popular coffee substitute, as it provides all of its energizing properties, but without any side effects:

raising energy levels and physical strength
improving memory and mental focus
improving metabolism, can help with weight loss
acting as an aphrodisiac
cleaning circulatory system

The story of acai berries starts, as with most superfoods, in South America. Black, glittering berries are harvested twice a year from high palm trees, hiding a treasury of nutrients. In Brasil, where they are widely grown, acai palm trees are known as the most important plant of the region, because the fruit makes such a major component of diet – up to 42% of the total food intake in weight!

If we get to know a little bit more about their composition, we will learn why. Acai berries are rich in potassium, copper, magnesium, vitamin B group, vitamins A, D and E, fibre, omega-3 fatty acids, phytosterols, healthy unsaturated fats … The ideal content of carbohydrates provides us with pure energy, while fibre take care of its slow releasing into the blood and improve digestion.
