Let's face it, we all have cravings for sugary treats at some stage and often, keeping them in moderation can be easier said than done. But, what if there was a delicious and healthy alternative that could satisfy your sweet tooth and potentially help keep your blood sugar levels more stable? Look no further than Nibbed pure cacao!

Drinking or eating pure cacao has a surprising number of benefits for blood sugar balance, making it the perfect addition to your wellness routine.

 

Bitter Tastes

Cacao has a naturally bitter taste that may initially deter some palates. However, embracing this bitterness can be a game-changer for those looking to reduce their sugar intake.

Over time, as we indulge in cacao-rich treats, our taste buds adapt, becoming less dependent on the overpowering sweetness of sugary snacks. This gradual shift not only helps in curbing cravings for excessive sweets but also allows us to appreciate the complex and nuanced flavors present in foods, fostering a deeper connection to our eating experiences. 

Key Nutrients in 100% Pure Cacao for Blood Sugar Support:

• Flavanols: These antioxidants can improve insulin sensitivity, helping your body use insulin more effectively to regulate your blood sugar.

• Fibre: Pure cacao is a good source of fibre, which helps to slow down carbohydrate digestion and absorption, preventing blood sugar spikes and sugar cravings as a result.

• Magnesium: This essential mineral plays a crucial role in insulin function and blood sugar control as well has helping to relax the nervous system which can improve your sleep. (IYKYK - restorative, good quality sleep is essential to keep your blood sugar levels stable).
  
  

 

Popular Wellness Figures on the Power of Pure Cacao:

Dr. Mark Hyman on the Blood Sugar Benefits of Cacao:

• Dr. Mark Hyman, a leading voice in functional medicine, is a big advocate for incorporating high-cacao percentage dark chocolate (70% or higher) into a blood sugar-balancing diet. Here are some key points from Dr. Hyman's perspective:

  • Cocoa Flavanols: Dr. Hyman emphasises the power of cocoa flavanols to improve nitric oxide production in the body. Nitric oxide helps relax blood vessels, which can improve blood flow and potentially lower blood pressure, both of which are beneficial for blood sugar management [Dr. Mark Hyman website: Why Dr. Mark Hyman Recommends Adding Cocoa Flavanols to Your Diet].

  • Mood and Cravings: Dr. Hyman also highlights how cacao can support healthy mood regulation. He suggests that satisfying a sweet tooth with a small amount of high-cacao chocolate can help curb cravings for sugary treats that can wreak havoc on blood sugar. 

• David "Avocado Dave" Wolfe: This renowned health advocate is a vocal proponent of cacao for its numerous health benefits, including blood sugar support. He suggests that cacao goes beyond just blood sugar control, highlighting its potential to improve circulation, boost mood, and enhance energy levels, all of which can indirectly support healthy blood sugar management.

Here are some tips for incorporating 100% pure cacao into your diet:

• Enjoy as your morning or afternoon hot drink 

• Add it to smoothies or yogurt for a delicious and nutritious boost.

• Use it in baking instead of chocolate or cacao powder for healthy, low-glycemic desserts.
