Harvard researchers praise stunningly simple discovery!
According to recent estimates, nearly 1-in-3 Western adults has high blood pressure. But for the Kuna Indians living on a group of islands off the Caribbean coast of Panama, hypertension doesn’t even exist. In fact, after age 60, the average blood pressure for Kuna Indian islanders is a perfect 110/70. Is it because they eat less salt? No. Kuna Indians eat as much, if not more salt, than people in the US & UK. Is it due to their genes? No. Kuna Indians who move away from the islands are just as likely to suffer from high blood pressure as anyone else! So what makes these folks practically “immune” to hypertension — and lets them enjoy much lower death rates from heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, and cancer? Harvard researchers were stunned to discover it’s because they drink about 5 cups of cocao each day. That’s right, cocao, raw chocolate! Studies show the flavonols in cocao stimulate your body’s production of nitric oxide — boosting blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. In fact, one study found cocao thins your blood just as well as low-dose aspirin! But that’s not all. A Harvard Medical School professor claims cocoa can also treat blocked arteries, congestive heart failure, stroke, dementia, even impotence! Just be sure you drink the special type of cocao, which is raw, unprocessed and free from sugar!
- Cacoa contains more than eight times as many heart-healthy flavonols as red wine!
- Full of naturally occurring artery relaxing Magnesium, much more absorbable than Magnesium found in synthetic vitamins.
- Say adios to beta-blockers and whip up this yummy black bean soup instead! Acts as a natural calcium channel blocker to relax your arteries and improve blood flow.
- Cut your risk of high blood pressure by more than two-thirds simply by drinking this great tasting beverage each morning. It can work no matter what your family history, if it is right for your Metabolic Type!
