Wisd6ms Newsletter - Edition 14 October 09
Healing from the inside out - Part 2 Last month in part 1 we explored the role of the digestive system, symptoms of a dysfunctional digestive system and the fact that no amount of quality food is going to heal, prevent or sustain ones health unless the organs of the digestive system are functioning properly and the body is assimilating the nutrition it is being fed. This month in Part 2 we look at what causes digestive disorders and what steps are needed to restore and sustain the function and health of the gut.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Organic Raw Chocolate
Serves 6 
| Who said Chocolate wasn’t good for you? Well most chocolate isn’t because its processed and all the goodness has been destroyed by the heating process used in all commercial chocolates. Only Organic brands such as Loving Earth offer a totally raw unprocessed and unheated organic chocolate, until NOW that is!
This recipe will take you to chocolate heaven!
But first a few raw facts about the benefits of organic raw cocoa beans.
Raw cocoa has the highest antioxidant value of all the natural foods in the world!
Cornell University food scientists discovered that cocoa powder has nearly twice the antioxidants of red wine, and up to three times the antioxidants found in green tea.
Cocoa beans contain phenylethylamine (PEA), an antidepressant that stimulates the body's adrenaline and dopamine levels for a dose of happy feelings. It has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. the beans contain Flavanoids which help make blood platelets less likely to stick together and cause blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes and cocoa is a good source of the minerals magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese; plus some of the B Vitamins. | Gives at least 48 pieces
