The Amazing Benefits of the Superfood Cacao!
Whereas cocoa is heavily processed, cacao is made by cold-pressing raw cacao beans, which leaves all of the nutrients intact. The roasting and other processing that cocoa undergoes robs it of most of its nutritional value, and even though it might taste good, it is but a shadow of its raw self. Dark chocolate is often praised for being packed with antioxidants, but it’s also still packed with processed sugar! Raw cacao, however, has four times the amount of antioxidants, and is also rich in flavonoids and magnesium, making it a true superfood!

Starting the year with a vision board can help you focus on what’s important to you, really honing in on what you want to work towards, so making it a New Year’s tradition is a great idea. So, let’s start with the basics and go from there.
The Power of Heart Opening Poses: Choosing Love and Vulnerability in Trying Times
I find the use of the phrase “heart openers” instead of “backbends” to be so beautiful, and well, heart-warming. This family of yoga poses help you open and balance the heart chakra, as well as relieve tension in the body and blocked emotions. Let’s be honest, all of us on this planet living through a global pandemic together are definitely carrying some tension, as well as both physical and emotional stress. But we can’t let these stressful feelings cut us off from the beauty of life and the joy of love and human connection.
