Beneficios del chocolate.

En esta ocasión voy hablar sobre los beneficios del producto final que se obtiene del cacao, es decir el chocolate, este alimento es muy popular alrededor del mundo, pero el árbol es originario de lo que fue Mesoamérica, tomado principalmente como bebida por los olmecas (como bebida de los dioses) e incluso se utilizaba el cacao como cambio de moneda por los mayas, tiempo después de la conquista en América, llega a Europa y se mezcla con azúcar y canela dando lugar al sabor dulce del chocolate que hoy se conoce.

El chocolate con un consumo moderado y de preferencia el chocolate que tiene mayor cantidad de cacao cuenta con muchos beneficios entre los cuales se encuentran:

Reduce el colesterol: Pues el cacao cuenta con ácido oleico, un elemento que es destacado por ayudar a bajar el colesterol.

Alivia el estrés: Esto se debe a que actúa contra la hormona cortisol y aumenta la producción de endorfinas que son las hormonas del placer.

Aporta fibra: El cacao contiene fibra soluble la cual ayuda a mantener el colesterol controlado, da una sensación de saciedad y además ayuda a tener bien nuestro sistema digestivo.

Bueno para la salud cardiaca: El chocolate negro es rico en flavonoides que ayudan a inhibir el colesterol malo, controlar la presión arterial, combatir la formación de coágulos sanguíneos y a regular la respuesta inflamatoria de los vasos sanguíneos.

Beneficioso para la piel: Ayuda a mejorar la piel pues cuenta con dos antioxidantes: fenoles y catequinas los cuales regeneran la piel, reduce la inflamación, además de humectar y suavizar la superficie dérmica y mejorar la circulación.

Ayuda al cerebro: Su actividad antioxidante tiene un impacto positivo en el funcionamiento cerebral y de la memoria.

El chocolate es un alimento que nos aporta muchos beneficios, pero lo mejor es consumir el chocolate oscuro y que contenga al menos el 70% de cacao.
