Artgerechte Food Facts
Cocoa contains a variety of neurotransmitters that promote the release of mood-enhancing substances in the body. Tryptophan, for example, stimulates the production of the happiness hormone serotonin. In addition, the very high magnesium content has a relaxing and relaxing effect on muscles and nerves. Cocoa also contains antioxidants, calcium, iron and unsaturated fatty acids.
Almonds have a high calorie density, but are very healthy. The carbohydrates in almonds and also in nuts are only released slowly during digestion. Almonds contain a lot of vegetable protein and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. They also have an antioxidant effect.
Cherries belong to the antinutrients – they are stone fruits with “healthy” flesh and “poisonous” stone. They are rich in serotonin, potassium, vitamin C and folic acid. The red pigment in cherries is also said to have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Dates are a natural source of sweetness and belong to the drupe family. They are a fast source of energy for the muscles and brain. The amino acid tryptophan it contains stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin, which promotes a good night's sleep. Dates are also rich in vitamins and minerals and have an antioxidant effect. The reddish color comes from beta carotene (i.e. provitamin A), which can regulate cell growth in the body.
Coconut is a very good source of energy.
