The Health Benefits of Chocolate
Dark chocolate can be an important player in your health journey since it is high in healthy fats, low in sugar, and loaded with a potent mix of antioxidants and minerals. To top it up it contains many mind-altering psychoactive compounds, caffeine just being one of them.
How to Boost Your Immune System
Everything you put in your body has some effect on your immune system. The dos are just as important as the don’ts. A healthy and clean diet free of pro-inflammatory processed foods is key. Create a stress-free environment and put your body through regular bouts of intense stress like exercise and hot and cold exposure. And always allow time to rest afterwards. And don’t underestimate the importance of consistent good quality sleep.
The Dark Side of Dark Chocolate
There are benefits of daily consumption of dark chocolate such as its antioxidant properties, minerals, healthy fatty acids and psychoactive compounds such as caffeine. However, scientists recently measured heavy metal content in various dark chocolates and the results called for serious reconsideration of how much of this healthy snack we should consume.
The Strong Connection Between Metabolic Health and Joint Health
Osteoarthritis is a common condition today. It is often referred to as "degenerative" or "wear and tear" arthritis, but this label is misleading. It is better understood as a metabolic disease that impairs the tissue's ability to produce and use energy. We should always take a multimodal and holistic approach to healing and be our own health advocates. Optimizing metabolic health to support all aspects of health, including joint and musculoskeletal health, and to support healing and regenerative capabilities, is crucial.
