Benefits of chocolate.



On this occasion I will talk about the benefits of the final product that is obtained from cocoa, that is, chocolate, this food is very popular around the world, but the tree is originally from what was Mesoamerica, mainly taken as a drink by the Olmecs as a drink of the gods) and even cocoa was used as a currency exchange for the Mayans, time after the conquest in America, arrives in Europe and mixed with sugar and cinnamon giving rise to the sweet taste of chocolate that is known today.

Chocolate with moderate consumption and preferably chocolate that has more cocoa has many benefits among which are:

  • Reduces cholesterol: Because cocoa has oleic acid, an element that is known for helping lower cholesterol.
  • Relieves stress: This is because it acts against the hormone cortisol and increases the production of endorphins that are the hormones of pleasure.
  • Provides fiber: Cocoa contains soluble fiber which helps keep cholesterol controlled, gives a feeling of fullness and helps our digestive system.
  • Good for heart health: Dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids that help inhibit bad cholesterol, control blood pressure, fight blood clot formation and regulate the inflammatory response of blood vessels.
  • Beneficial for the skin: It helps improve the skin because it has two antioxidants: phenols and catechins which regenerate the skin, reduce inflammation, as well as moisturize and soften the dermal surface and improve circulation.
  • Help the brain: Its antioxidant activity has a positive impact on brain function and memory.
Chocolate is a food that brings us many benefits, but it is best to consume dark chocolate and that contains at least 70% cocoa.
