CACAO POWDER IS A GREAT SOURCE OF FIBRE


Cacao is an incredibly rich source of magnesium, with more antioxidant flavonoids than red wine or green tea, and phytochemicals like theobromine and anandamine that boost your mood and energy. Cacao beans were so revered by the Mayans and Aztecs that they were used as money! Cacao beans contain 12-50% fat depending on the variety and growing conditions, and no sugar. Our cacao beans have about 40% fat content, low compared to other nuts. There is no known evidence linking cacao bean consumption with obesity. [POWDER]

Cacao Powder from Organic Traditions
Cacao powder (Chocolate) is a very high source of Fibre. Cacao is incredibly rich source of magnesium and other essential minerals like calcium, zinc, iron, copper, sulfur and potassium.

Fibre
Fiber is essential for every ones colon health, especially for those with constipation ...

Every time we turn around something reminds us about the importance of fiber. Advertising touts products new and improved when they are considered high fiber or have added whole grain. So what's all the fuss about? The standard North American diet is largely deficient in fiber because of the refining process. It strips the fibrous coat off of grains and removes the skins of fruits and vegetables.

Thus the food becomes easier to process but deficient in fiber and nutrients. Colon cancer, diabetes and high cholesterol are just a few of the conditions that afflict millions of people and can be helped by proper fiber intake. There are several different types of fiber each with their own health benefits.

Bran, gums and mucilages are fibers that regulate blood sugar and lower cholesterol. They also bind to toxins and waste products in the intestines, ensuring that these harmful agents pass through the digestive tract without being reabsorbed by the body. By eating oatmeal, oat bran, sesame seeds and dried beans you take in substantial amounts of these fibers. Some medicinal types of this fiber are glucomannan and psyllium seed. Glucomannan binds to fat in the intestines, normalizes blood sugar and decreases appetite (by expanding in the stomach). It benefits those who are obese, diabetic or hypoglycemic. Psyllium seed is an intestinal cleanser and stool softener. It is the major component of the commercial preparation called Metamucil. But Metamucil contains colourings and flavourings that are not found in psyllium preparations.

Cellulose is an indigestible fiber that is found in fruit and vegetable skins. Because it is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract it bulks the stool and acts as an intestinal cleanser. It helps to prevent and treat hemorrhoids, varicose veins, constipation and colitis. It also binds to toxins so that they are not absorbed into the body.

Hemicellulose is also an indigestible fiber that is found in fruit and vegetables. It regulates the water content of the stool. It is used as a treatment for weight loss, constipation, detoxification and the prevention of colon cancer.

Lignin is a fiber that has an affinity for fats and bile acids. It binds to these substances in the intestines and prevents their absorption or resorption into the body. Lignin is used to lower cholesterol, prevent gallstones and treat diabetes and colon cancer.

Pectin slows the absorption of food after meals thereby decreasing the rate at which blood sugar enters the body. This is especially beneficial for people with diabetes whose bodies cannot properly take sugar into cells. Pectin, especially apple pectin, also binds to fats and bile acids. Thus it is used to prevent gallstones, and lower cholesterol. Citrus pectin has been studied for its ability to remove toxins from the body, reduce side effects from radiation therapy and limit tumour metastasis.

Fiber can be added to the diet by increasing your intake of whole grains, fresh fruit and vegetables (with skin!) and beans. If it is still needed, many commercial fiber preparations, each with a unique mix of fibers in tablets, capsules or powder form, are available. Read fiber supplements carefully because some may contain laxatives, making those preparations unsuitable for long-term use.

Start fiber supplementation with small doses, and lots of water, until your stool is the proper consistency. Fiber can compromise the absorption of other nutrients and medications if they are taken at the same time. Zinc, iron and calcium absorption are significantly impaired by fiber supplements.
