Raw Cacao: The Secret of Coastal Rica Bribery Indians long life

 The Indians of Costa Rica are just some of the most enduring of the people on Earth. We spent time visiting Bribery in the Talamanca Mountains. They, like many modern indigenous peoples, live between two worlds. They wear modern clothes, live in modern houses and own a mobile phone. But still stick to the old methods when it comes to taking care of them. And one of the traditions is that the chocolate drink prefer. YES! Chocolate is good for you! In fact, Bribery drinks this drink 5-6 cups of sugar, daily and tells their strong antioxidants, the secret of their longevity.

Visit the Bribery in the hills of southern Costa Rica and spend a little time with a 72-year-old woman named Ophelia. Ophelia and her family have a farm or a farm in Costa Rica, where they make cocoa plants in nature. They do not use chemicals, organic or other product. When the red and yellow pods ripen, they reap the pods filled with cocoa beans and lead to a large barn that is coated cool and dark inside and chocolate powder.

Imagine the flavor!

Give the fragrant barn and you get dried with dried plush carpet cocoa beans, white chocolate bags filled to the brim and ready for the market, and - my favorite part - small bowls of raw meals cocoa flavored things like coconut, cinnamon, vanilla, pepper, papaya, Pineapple, almonds, hazelnuts and wild honey. The samples are free, and more, quite natural, fantastically good for the bars are on sale.

Talk to Ophelia and she will not tell you to eat something with preservatives and never take drugs, but only transfers what can collect in the rainforest. It will also say that young people do not drink cocoa so old.

"It's important to drink cocoa every day," he said.

And it will make a traditional hot chocolate. There will be a record of dough and raw beans to have powder and boiling hot water for you. Drink and the bitter richness. Certainly not the cocoa that your mother has made. This drink is pure, dark and small oily circles cocoa butter float over. And is full of healthy polyphenols to the heart and the prevention of cancer fat.

So here is what I suggest. Try to replace your morning coffee with a cup of raw cocoa. There will be an increase of caffeine like coffee, but without the feeling of nervousness. There will also be hunger to prevent and because cocoa is rich in B vitamins and other chemicals that are a good feeling to promote a general feeling of no concern.
