Moms are sweet all year! Does a mama in your life love chocolate? Did you know that chocolate is not only yummy, it’s great for her #GoodGut?!
It’s rich in minerals like zinc and iron and raw cacao contains prebiotic fiber. A 2020 review of cacao in the Journal Nutrients showed that the antioxidant polyphenols found in chocolate increased levels of anti-inflammatory bacteria- lactobacillus and bifidobacterium and reduce the inflammatory species Clostridium perfringes.
