    Drink a glass of water. If you have dirty hands, how do you wash them off? With water. So do your insides a favor and wash them out regularly with glasses of water.

  3. Step 3

    Go for a walk, anywhere. Just go exploring. Meet new people, go see some shops or go to Wholefoods or other health food store and get some raw whole Cacao beans. They will look just like almonds on the outside, but chocolate on the inside.

    Eat a few Cacao Beans to reward yourself. Or eat them at the beginning of your day to give you some extra energy and an antioxidant boost. Contrary to popular belief, they have no caffeine in them. Rather they contain Theobromine which will stimulate you while possibly reducing your blood pressure.

Tips & Warnings
  • There are many delicious ways to prepare Cacao Beans if you enjoy making treats
  • I would advise against eating too much right before bed. You may be awake with thoughts all night.
