How to blend essential herbs with Chocolate

Most people are using herbs and spices as a means to create better health for themselves. There are a number of herbs that have been proved to be very beneficial to people. Among the most talked about herbs/spices are ginger, cinnamon and turmeric. These three herbs, for example, are widely known for their anti-inflammatory properties which are essential to deal with some chronic diseases such as diabetes. Recent studies have shown that diabetes among other common diseases is caused by inflammation. This realisation has led to many people to adopt the use of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foodstuff.

Personally, I always use these three important herbs so often- ground ginger, turmeric and cinnamon. However, the main challenge that people face is how to use them in an easy manner. Now here is the answer. You can mix each of these essential herbs in their ground state with chocolate. Chocolate absorbs an unwanted taste from these herbs while providing the essential healing component. Thus one can mix drinking chocolate and ginger and take it as a morning drink. The mixture is easy to make. All you need to do is to boil water and add chocolate and the selected herb. You can choose to add chocolate to two or more herbs at once. I like adding turmeric and ginger to chocolate. Chocolate adds the flavour.

But apart from the flavour dark chocolate has its health benefits. In this regard, we are talking of chocolate from cocoa, not from milk. The following are some of the most notable health benefits of chocolate:

1. It provides antioxidants, which fights inflammation,
2. It has cancer prevention properties,
3. It helps improve the health state of the heart,
4. It helps to deal with cholesterol,
5. It boosts brain function leading better memory,
6. it helps in stabilising blood pressure and sugar level.

Talking of the health benefits of chocolate was a diversion, but an important one. This emphasises the importance of mixing special herbs with dark chocolate.
