Yes, you read that right! What if we told you that indulging in chocolate could actually help lower your cholesterol? But not just any chocolate—real, organic raw cacao like the kind we use in our lattes at Pestle and Pods.
This isn’t your average sweet treat. Raw cacao is a heart-healthy superfood packed with antioxidants, fiber, and natural plant compounds that work together to support healthy cholesterol levels. At Pestle and Pods, we use only the highest-quality, organic raw cacao to bring you a delicious, health-boosting alternative to coffee.
How Raw Cacao Lowers Cholesterol Naturally
1. It Boosts "Good" Cholesterol (HDL)
Raw cacao is loaded with flavonoids—powerful antioxidants that increase your good HDL cholesterol while reducing the harmful LDL cholesterol that clogs arteries.
2. It Stops "Bad" Cholesterol (LDL) from Oxidizing
Oxidized LDL is what leads to plaque buildup in your arteries. The antioxidants in raw cacao help prevent this, reducing the risk of heart disease.
3. It’s Naturally High in Fiber
Did you know that fiber helps lower cholesterol? Raw cacao is a surprisingly rich source of fiber, which binds to cholesterol in your gut and helps remove it from your body.
4. It Contains Heart-Healthy Plant Sterols
Raw cacao contains natural plant sterols, which act like cholesterol-lowering medications by blocking the absorption of bad cholesterol in the intestines.
5. Magnesium for a Happy Heart
Magnesium is essential for heart health, and raw cacao is one of the richest natural sources of magnesium—helping to regulate blood pressure and improve circulation.
