Benefits Of Cacao Tea To Your Health

By Kerri Stout


After making chocolate from cocoa beans we get its shell as a byproduct. Even as a byproduct it should not be seen as waste because it can still be used to make cacao tea. This beverage serves many worldwide homes and mostly in Africa. Users of this tea really beget a lot of health benefits.

Vitamins and minerals; minerals and vitamins are some of its numerous benefits. The Vitamin C which is greatly needed by the body is found in this cup of tea. The key ingredient used to make this tea is found in the cocoa husks which contain potassium, copper, iron, magnesium and calcium, all necessary for the body functions. When bodies lack these minerals they do not really function as well. One main example is what is used to make red blood cells; iron.

Heart health; minerals found in the cocoa help in keeping your heart health. Magnesium will keep blood flowing due to increase in heart functions from it. To survive our body needs oxygen, copper increases chances of blood cells receive oxygen which is thereafter circulated around by blood. Vitamin E in it will keep your heart health reducing chances of heart disease.

Feeling good; there are compounds in the cacao that boosts up and balance the levels of Serotonin leaving with you contentment and pure happiness the whole day. Serotonin is responsible for this. This has become a key consideration of cocoa being aphrodisiac from both men and women although it is yet to be scientifically proven.

Brain function; the brain is the central processing unit in human bodies if it can be compared to a computer. An increase in brain activity is always a positive thing. Cocoa increases your brain activity and has no side effects on you such as dizziness and headaches. Compared to caffeine which does the same, it is better for it doesn't increase heart activity as caffeine does.

Fighting illness; diabetes has been one of the main diseases affecting people across all nations and social classes. You and old no one is spared from diabetes. Most people suffering from diabetes there are some foods they are not required to eat so as not to worsen their conditions. Cocoa which is not sweetened can be good for those looking for something to drink since it doesn't increase the levels of sugar in blood and it leads to improvement in cell function.

Antioxidants; antioxidants compounds such as those found in fruits, grains and vegetables are also found in cocoa tea. The antioxidants are used to slow down the aging process in our bodies, which no one wants to be associated. There are more antioxidants in cocoa than in green tea or red wine. It has almost the same amount of antioxidants found in blueberries.

Listing all its benefits is almost impossible as some of them have not been found. For a healthier life, you can keep it in your kitchen cabinet; surprisingly it was once thought to be waste. Every person's wish is a long and healthy life, cocoa tea is the answer to that, because it improves serotonin in your body.
