Your brain loves cocoa. But why?

Cocoa flavanols activate nitric oxide pathways that improve blood vessel function and oxygen delivery. Translation? Better oxygen delivery to your brain. This supports focus, memory, and mood. It’s indulgence AND nourishment.

Magnesium helps regulate neurotransmitters, such as GABA, that calm your nervous system and promote relaxation. This helps relax your muscles, and reduces stress, making it easier to fall asleep. Plus, magnesium helps regulate the sleep hormone melatonin.

Looking for a coffee alternative? Anti-inflammatory ginger tea:

Grate about an inch of fresh ginger.
Pour a cup of boiling water over the ginger and let the ginger steep for 3 minutes.
Add a natural calorie-free sweetener, like Stevia or monk fruit, to taste.
Enjoy!

Your body doesn't absorb up to 30% of the calories in nuts:

🥜 Almonds: Up to 26% fewer absorbed
🌰 Walnuts: Around 22% fewer
🥜 Cashews: About 14% fewer
🌰 Pistachios: Roughly 5% fewer

Why? The fat in nuts is locked inside tough cell walls, making it harder for your body to break down.
